Groco # SBV-3000-P Flanged Safety Seacock

The Groco SBV-3000-P is a Bronze Full-flow 3 Inch Flanged Safety Seacock with 3 Inch by 3 Inch Ports. The Groco MODELMODEL seacock has two driver ports which allow the installer to change handle position from one side of the valve to the other. This feature provides uniformity of installation and eliminates confusion in valve operation (for example, port and starboard valve handles may both close by moving them aft). The Groco MODELMODEL seacock handle has a square hole that will accept a standard ratchet extension. Use this feature to break loose a stuck valve or to reach the handle in an inaccessible location. Exercise caution when operating the valve with a ratchet handle attached as the added length provides a mechanical advantage that could damage the valve handle. The SBV series has side port with a Quick-Release Plug for emergency bilge pumping, and a Service Adaptor for routine winterization and maintenance. SBV-P Side Port is threaded NPT, one pipe size smaller than the top and bottom ports. The side port must be closed with a valve. After the valve other components may be added, such as a bilge strainer, or an engine flush kit/safety seacock conversion. Emergency bilge pumping can be accomplished by closing the SBV and removing the Quick Release Plug while the engine is running.
WEIGHT : The Groco SBV-3000-P weighs 28.5 Lbs.
