Forespar’s MF 850 series of Ball Valves are precision molded in high strength Marelon®. Their great strength, light weight, and complete freedom from corrosion and electrolysis make them the ideal valve for controlling inlet and outlet water requirements above and below the waterline.
Forespar's engineers opened and closed one of the 3/4”(19.05mm) valves 11,000 times, then submerged it in water with an air line pressurized to 40 p.s.i. connected to it. The result was an absolutely leak free condition with no evidence of internal seal wear. Valves sold throughout the U.S.A. have parallel marine type threads. B.S.P. thread are available.
All Forespar valves are non-corrosive, but like any moving part in a marine environment, they require regular inspection and lubrication. Regularly actuate the handle and lubricate the seals. For proper and easy valve lubrication, Forespar recommends the MareLube Reach valve lubrication kit. It allows you to inject the correct lubrication directly onto the valve’s moving parts using a pre-loaded syringe and extension tube.
