GROCO 3-Inch Full Flow Ball Valve with Reversible Handle and Bronze Construction

3" Full Flow Ball Valve

This GROCO flanged ball valve is designed for controlling the flow and pressure of fluids in a pipeline system.

Features:

• 1-1/4" sizes and larger include one grease zerk fitting for lubrication (use only with the valve in the open position), and one drain plug. The zerk can also be used for draining.
• The patented field reversible handle allows you to select the closed position orientation (clockwise or counter-clockwise) that best suits the installation.
• The handle has a square hole to accept standard ratchet, to help reach valves in hard-to-reach locations and ease the actuation of difficult-to-operate valves.
• Full flow
• A triangular base with a bolt pattern to match most popular brands makes retrofit easy.
• C83600 bronze construction
• Stainless steel handle and hardware
• Chrome-plated solid brass ball
• PTFE seats and seals
• Bonding attachment on base

Specifications:

• Thread Bottom NPS: 3"
• Thread Top NPT: 3"

The GROCO FBV-3000 3-inch full flow ball valve is engineered for precise control of fluid flow and pressure in pipeline systems. Crafted from durable C83600 bronze, this valve features a chrome-plated solid brass ball and PTFE seats and seals, ensuring reliable operation and long-lasting performance. Its full flow design minimizes pressure loss, making it ideal for applications requiring unobstructed flow. The stainless steel handle and hardware provide added strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for demanding environments. The valve includes a triangular base with a bolt pattern compatible with most popular brands, simplifying retrofit installations. A key feature is the patented field-reversible handle, allowing users to select the preferred closed position orientation—clockwise or counter-clockwise—based on installation needs. The handle's square hole also accepts standard ratchets, facilitating operation in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, streamlining maintenance and actuation. For valves 1-1/4 inches and larger, the design includes a grease zerk fitting for lubrication, which should be used only when the valve is open, as well as a drain plug for maintenance purposes. The threading features include a 3-inch NPT connection at both the top and bottom, ensuring compatibility with common piping systems. Bonding attachments on the base further enhance installation flexibility and security. Overall, the GROCO 3-inch full flow ball valve provides robust performance, ease of installation, and versatile operation, making it a reliable choice for various industrial and marine applications.
