Valves

I have to replace some of my seacocks & have got various recommendations, but is there any reason not to use a PVC or ABS ball valve???

Why not if you can get one strong and resistant to any crash bang whallop that may befall it ......

Glass reinforced nylon ball valves are readily available, are stronger, well suited to the the marine environment and widely used in it. Various plumbing fittings of the same are available also.

personally i would go for standard metal type sea cocks for one reason if a peice of deris became traped in the "ball" of the valve a nylon valve could become damaged or scored with metal you have a less chance of damage
