Default 1 1/2" full flow ball valves.

What is a good brand of true 1 1/2 " full flow Ball valves. I am repowering and need to secure a good full flow 1 1/2" ball valve apollos for example are not full flow. perko does make one but not with a stainless ball.

So which one for a boat

groco makes a full flow seacock - if you are wanting a full flow inline balancing valve, any good plumbing supply will have brass ball valves. just make sure you ask for valves with stainless handles.

Apollo does in fact make full port ball valves, at least for non-marine use (plumbing and heating). You are probably correct though, most of the common valves I see are not full port. I seem to remember what makes Apollo (Conbraco) valves different for marine use, the handle material is different. I use a lot of them at work, they are a superior ball valve for land use.
