Attwood Clamshell Vent, 2-3/16 Inch Opening, Large, Part 66400-3
The attwood 66400-3 is a Large size clamshell vent with a 2-3/16 inch opening, designed for hull-mounted ventilation on boats. It installs as a complete unit by fastening from either inside or outside the hull, making it flexible for a range of mounting situations. A ventilation hose (sold separately, not included) twists into the bottom of the box, forming a raised water barrier that helps keep moisture out of the ventilated space while still allowing airflow.
Built from corrosion-resistant plastic, this vent will not discolor over time, holding up well in the marine environment. It is designed for either intake or exhaust ventilation and meets ABYC H-2 cross sectional area requirements, so it can be used to help ventilate bilges, engine compartments, or other enclosed spaces that need code-compliant airflow. The clamshell shape sheds water effectively while the box-and-hose design keeps the vent opening clear of debris.
