Forespar 'Y'-Valves and Connectors are molded of high strength glass-reinforced Marelon. Offering an improved, stronger handle design, our valves are available in a 1-1/2" barb size.
'Y'-Valves are an essential piece of equipment when the flow of water or other fluids are required to be conveniently diverted, as in a marine head application where a holding tank is utilized. They are easily mounted to a bulkhead. The valves are operated by a simple 120 Degree movement. Positive stops are provided between positions.
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL Y-VALVES BELOW THE WATERLINE
All critical hose connections should be double clamped at both ends. Ideally, the hose clamp screws should be mounted opposite one another for maximum security. Use the highest quality AWAB hose clamps for longest life and best performance.Reviews for Forespar Marelon Y-Valves
Verified Purchase
Replaced a broken "Y" valve on an old O"Day sailboat. Configuration of new valve was about the same as the old one so installation was very easily done. Valve operates with minimal effort, as it should and design clearly shows direction of flow.

Beefy valve. Don't expect ball bearing like movement with the valve handle; this unit takes some heft for changing valve position, but for seldom used applications should prove very reliable. I would prefer that the hose barbs were longer for those times when you want a second ring clamp on the sanitation hose.
