A stainless steel thru-hull for hose 1-1/8" is a fitting that allows you to route a hose with a 1-1/8 inch inner diameter 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 suitable for saltwater environments.
Size: Designed for hoses with a 1-1/8 inch inner diameter. Ensure your hose matches this size for a proper connection.
Application: Routing hoses through boat hulls for various purposes. Some common uses include:
Bilge pump discharge: Allows the bilge pump to expel water overboard.
Livewell supply and discharge: Enables water circulation in a livewell for keeping baitfish alive.
Washdown pump: Provides a water source for cleaning the deck or other areas of the boat.
Fuel lines (use with caution): While some thru-hulls can be used for fuel lines, ensure the specific fitting is rated for fuel and follow proper installation procedures for safety reasons.
