I need to replace some gate valves in our boat and I was looking at

Who is "they"?



Since thru-the-hulls have straight pipe threads and the ball valves
have tapered pipe threads I don't see how this is possible. Am I
missing something?

No, you're going to need to fit something with a compatibel thread.




?I know that seacocks have both straight and tapered
threads but a seacock would probably be overkill in this case.
