Re: Wide Open
What exactly IS a seacock?
Perhaps a means of obstructing inflow? I think the tragedies you speak of are due to non marine ,non bronze,non U.L. NON MARINE rated,BRASS imposters:Box store crap!
Just back from a local{FRIEND} /wholesaler and after casually perusing his books at great length , I cant seem to find a suitable seacock. Do you have a preference for brand/ ball valve / gate valve? Mine`s an Apollo. All seem to have a much smaller triangular footprint that is not compatible.
You make a very valid point about household CRAP that has NO business in salt water.I took your advice and did a little digging. What did I find? A BOXSTORE ball that didn`t have ANYTHING LEFT OF IT AFTER 1 YR. WOWSY WOWSY WOO WOO. I thank you for thinking of me and others here! I have that kind of mind and thought of a glassed up backing plate from ply. I left myself @ 3/4"gap. Thoughts please.
Thanks for all of us!
I had the very same concerns as to "What If?".
