SS THRU HULL HOSE 3/4"
An SS Thru Hull Hose 3/4" refers to a stainless steel thru-hull fitting designed to allow a hose with a 3/4 inch inner diameter to pass through the hull (wall) of a boat. Here's a breakdown of its key features: Material: Stainless steel - This makes the fitting durable, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited for saltwater environments due to its ability to withstand harsh conditions. Size: This specific fitting is designed for hoses with a 3/4 inch inner diameter. Ensure your hose matches this size for a proper connection. A mismatch can cause leaks or restrict water flow. Application: These fittings are used to route hoses through boat hulls for various purposes, including: Bilge pump discharge: Allows the bilge pump to expel water overboard (common use for a 3/4" thru-hull). Livewell supply and discharge (depending on size): Enables water circulation in a livewell to keep baitfish alive. While some livewells use 3/4" hoses, it's not the most common size. Washdown pump (depending on size): Provides a water source for cleaning the deck or other areas of the boat. 3/4" might be used for a small washdown pump. Fuel lines (use with extreme caution): While some thru-hulls can be used for fuel lines, it's crucial to ensure the specific fitting is rated for fuel and that you follow extremely strict installation procedures for safety reasons. Improper installation of fuel lines can lead to serious hazards, including fire and explosion. It's generally recommended to use a professional for fuel line installations.
