Simple, Reliable Remote Drain Control
The Flow-Rite V1 is a 2-position livewell shut-off valve that gives you remote control over your livewell, baitwell, or cooler drain — no more reaching for drain plugs or standpipes. With a barbed connection for easy hose attachment, the V1 is a straightforward, dependable solution for any boat that needs basic open/close drain management.
How It Works
- OPEN: Provides a straight, unrestricted flow path for fast, complete draining by gravity.
- CLOSED: Dual seals create a positive, leak-free shutoff to keep your livewell or baitwell sealed tight.
The V1 is non-directional, so installation is flexible regardless of your plumbing layout.

Best For
Any boat where simple, remote drain control is the goal — no automation, no recirculation, just reliable open/close operation. A great entry-level valve or secondary drain control for smaller livewells and baitwells. If you need a quick-lock connection instead of barbed, see the Flow-Rite V1 Quick-Lock version. For full automatic livewell management with fill, recirc, and empty modes, explore the Flow-Rite V3 Automatic Valve or the Flow-Rite V4 Select Valve.
Parts Desk Insights
The V1 Barbed is the right call for customers who need a simple, no-frills drain shutoff and are already running barbed hose fittings in their plumbing setup. It’s a common replacement part and a popular upgrade from manual drain plugs on smaller boats, baitwells, and coolers. If the customer’s hose uses a quick-lock fitting, direct them to the V1 Quick-Lock version instead. Customers asking about recirculation or automatic livewell management should be stepped up to the V3 or V4.
