Product Information :
Parts Page (click here)The Groco RWM-1500 is a 1-1/2 Inch Bronze Raw Water Manifold with 1-1/2 Inch NPT Inlet by 1-1/4 Inch Hose Outlet by 3/4 Inch NPT Ports. Note : C83600 bronze fittings are not in compliance with NSF-61 and therefore are not intended for use in potable water systems. While we do not recommend the practice of supplying raw or filtered water to multiple consumers from a single inlet source (ie: toilets, washdown pumps, air conditioners, generators, etc.) we do recognize that it is common practice to do so, particularly when one or more of the consumers is an intermittent consumer. If this is your intention, protect your equipment by installing a properly sized Groco Raw Water Manifold. You will be guided to use proper pipe or hose sizes, thus reducing the possibility of imposing dangerous restrictions to one or all of the consumers. The barbed outlet is connected to the primary consumer (your main engine, for example) and is smaller than the threaded inlet which screws into a seacock or strainer outlet. The larger thread size requires that you use a larger strainer or inlet seacock, thus assuring adequate flow to all consumers. The combined cross-sections of the primary consumer plus the threaded secondary consumer connections (to A/C and generator, for example) does not exceed the cross-section of the threaded inlet end.

Applications
Install the BV5000 seacock in accordance with ABYC H27 onto a backing block of suitable material for wet bilge areas. The backing block serves to further spread the load, but not directly on the hull section through which the thruhull fitting penetrates. Some installers prefer bolting through the hull and backing block, while others will bond the backing block permanently to the hull, and then bolt into the backing block, but not all the way through the hull. Either installation is acceptable. Depending on the combined backing block and hull thickness, the thruhull fitting length may need to be reduced so it does not bottom out inside the seacock before proper compression is achieved. No regular maintenance is required. It is recommended that the valve be operated at least monthly to assure free movement and to prevent the buildup of nuisance marine growth. If service is required, these BV series seacocks allow infield disassembly. Remove the cap screws that secure the top nut. The nut can now be unscrewed to allow access to the ball and seats. Stem seals are accessible from outside the valve by removing the handle and stem lock nut.
