Patented IBVF (bronze) and IBVF-S (#316 stainless steel) Flanged Adaptors were developed to address several common valve installation challenges. Here’s what they do:
- Eliminate dangerous thread mismatch when in-line valves (tapered NPT threads) are screwed onto thru-hulls (straight NPS threads).
- Accept standard thru-hulls into the base and standard in-line valves on top.
- By spreading the load across a greater area IBVF provides a safer installation when in-line valves are used as seacocks.
- For OEMs, prevent valve damage during engine or generator installation – the valve can be installed later.
- Simplifies future valve replacement.
