Marelon fittings?

Here you go, 85-5-5-5 bronze.

Most marine stores carry this. It is sometimes called red brass. With only 5% zinc, it holds up well in salt water.

I think need a bronze or marelon pipe cross or a Tee) and a short nipple to connect the cross to the seacock. I cannot find any tees or cross or pipe nipples in anything other than brass or galvanized black pipe. Does anybody know any source for these in bronze (or Marelon or similar)? If I can't find in bronze or Marelon, am I better off using nylon or brass? If I cant find a bronze pipe nipple, am I better off using a short length of hose, or a brass pipe nipple?

Try industrial suppliers, like McMaster Carr. Heavy duty nylon fittings are not that rare, they are used a lot in the chemical industry.

If you want high quality plastic fittings, look for Banjo brand glass reinforced polypropylene fittings.

There are no triple marelon fittings. You will have to start with a double and then convert one of the lines to a double by adding a T fitting. Because you don't use the deck wash too often that should be one of the lines on the T.

Vancouver, Canada. Lots of cast yellow brass fittings available, but can't find any bronze.

Thanks for the info.
Savor: I cannot find a marelon tee or any way to make a double in marelon, let alone a triple.

Hopcar: Is there any potential corrosion problem mixing the red brass fittings with the Groco bronze seacock? If not, Do you have a red brass cross, or do I need to use two tees?

Thanks

There are no T fittings in Marelon so use nylon. They come in lots of sizes.

Double Marelon valves are here:

No corrosion problem. That is the same alloy that Groco uses.
No, I'm sorry I don't stock a cross. I could get one in a couple of days.

Install a real bronze sea cock. Forget about Mickey Mouse T's and plastic fittings.

Okay, thanks all for the help. I think I'll go with bronze/red brass.
