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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch and larger include a grease zerk fitting for lubrication and a drain plug for maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePatented field-reversible handle allows orientation customization for installation convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHandle with square hole compatible with standard ratchets for easy operation in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFull flow design minimizes pressure drop and maximizes flow efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTriangular base with bolt pattern simplifies retrofit and replacement with most popular brands\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConstructed from C83600 bronze for durability and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStainless steel handle and hardware provide additional strength and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated solid brass ball ensures smooth operation and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePTFE seats and seals offer reliable sealing and chemical resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBonding attachment on base for secure installation and grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GROCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431845031978,"sku":"103894","price":464.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/103894XL.jpg?v=1780875800","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/groco-3-inch-full-flow-ball-valve-with-reversible-handle-and-bronze-construction","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
