Groco has many fittings and check valves but would be bronze instead of brass.

In most situations brass does just fine if not constantly immersed in sea water.
Brass water valves as seacocks ,BIG no! Brass in a lifting bilge pump,or deck bait well sure.
Dezincifaction takes a longtime to occur.

Be careful what they sell as bronze, a lot of places call brass fittings bronze.
