Hundreds of PVC, Nylon, Brass, Stainless, & Galvanized fittings to select from to solve your latest “drip.” If the fix is a bit more complex, Perko/Groco Strainers, Thru-Hulls, Seacocks & Valves are also available.
Plumbing hardware and pumps are crucial components that enable the efficient operation of a vessel’s water and waste management systems. This comprehensive category encompasses a wide range of elements, including seacocks, valves, hoses, fittings, pumps, filters, and freshwater systems.
Seacocks are valves designed to securely regulate the flow of water in and out of a vessel. Typically composed of bronze or stainless steel, new materials like Marelon are becoming more accepted. Seacocks are installed to through-hull fittings. They can be either manual or automatic and often incorporate check valves to prevent backflow.
Valves play a critical role in controlling water flow and preventing leaks. Made of brass, bronze, Marelon, PVC or stainless steel, they are available in various styles such as ball valves, gate valves, and globe valves.
Hoses, typically constructed from PVC, nylon, or rubber, or silicone provide the flexibility required for transporting water and waste. They come in different sizes and lengths to accommodate various needs such as engine exhaust cooling, sanitation, potable water, A/C circulation, livewell, bilge and raw water washdown.
Fittings act as connectors or adapters, enabling adaption of pipes and hoses together. Manufactured from bronze, brass, stainless steel and many different plastics, they come in diverse orientations such as couplings, elbows, and tees.
Pumps are essential devices responsible for moving water and waste throughout the vessel. Usually powered by electricity, but can also be engine driven, they come in different types such as bilge, circulation, washdown, and macerators pumps using rubber, plastic and metal impellers and diaphragm.
Choosing the appropriate plumbing hardware for your vessel is crucial to ensure the proper and safe functioning of its water and waste management systems. By utilizing the right components, you can maintain a vessel that is both sanitary and reliable.
