BALL VALVES MF 850

Product catalog summary
Valve Maintenance: All Forespar valves are non-corrosive but require regular inspection and lubrication due to their use in marine environments. It is essential to actuate the handle and lubricate the seals regularly using water pump grease or mineral oil.
Limited Warranty: Forespar does not accept responsibility for valves or thru-hull components that are improperly installed, tampered with, or have inadequate access for service and maintenance.
Ball Valves MF 850: The MF 850 series ball valves are made from high-strength Marelon, offering great strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion and electrolysis. They are suitable for controlling water inlet and outlet above and below the waterline. Testing showed that a ¾” valve could be opened and closed 11,000 times without leaks or wear on internal seals. Valves in the U.S. have N.P.T. threads, with B.S.P. threads available for international sales. The temperature range for Marelon is -40°F to +176°F (-40°C to +80°C).

BALL VALVES MF 850-1

TE TI CH PS BALL VALVES MF 850 Forespa® 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. Our engineers opened and closed one of our ¾” (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 wear on internal seals. All valves sold throughout the U.S.A. have N.P.T. type threads. If specified, B.S.P. are available on valves sold outside of America. The temperature range of Marelon® is -40° F to +176° (-40°c to +80°c) VALVE MAIINTENANCE: All our valves are non-corrosive, but like any moving part in a marine environment, they required regular inspection and lubrication. Do not fail to actuate the handle and lubricate the seals on a regular schedule (water pump grease or even mineral oil will lubricate seals). LIMITED WARRANTY Forespar® accepts no responsibility for valve or thru-hull components which are improperly installed, tampered with or have inadequate access for service and maintenance.
