The Buck Algonquin Tri-Flange Ball Valve is a marine-grade flanged seacock built from bronze for reliable, long-lasting service in through-hull, bilge, and in-line piping applications. This low-profile, full-flow ball valve features a hard-chromed bronze ball and a vinyl-coated stainless steel handle for corrosion resistance and smooth operation. Buck Algonquin valves are UL Listed (1121) and rated to 600 PSI, making them suitable for demanding saltwater and industrial environments.
Available in 3/4", 1", 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" sizes, the Buck Algonquin Tri-Flange Ball Valve is ideal for seacock duties, engine cooling circuits, fuel and oil lines, and general piping where dependable shutoff and low maintenance are required. The ASC150LP (1-1/2") model is listed at 5.5 lb (packaged) with approximate boxed dimensions of 10" x 8" x 4.5" — use these values for shipping estimates; per-size packaged dimensions and weights are provided in the variant details below. Tri-flange mounting, available replacement handles (e.g., BBVKIT150LP), and straightforward servicing make these valves practical for boatbuilders, ship repair and industrial installations.
For best results, exercise the valve periodically and follow recommended winterization procedures to prevent freeze damage and ensure long service life. Consult technical drawings for bolt-circle and bolthole patterns before installation to confirm fit for your tri-flange mounting.
