It is machined from stainless steel with a mirror-polish finish, giving it long-term corrosion resistance in marine environments along with a clean, finished appearance on the hull. The fitting uses a straight thread design, distinguishing it from tapered or angled thru-hull styles, and is sized to accept 5\/8 inch inner-diameter hose for a secure connection point when paired with an appropriate hose clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall length is 3 inches with a 2.7 inch thread length, allowing it to pass through typical hull thicknesses while leaving enough thread engaged for a locking nut or backing plate on the interior side. The compact 1.88 x 1.88 x 3 inch footprint makes it suitable for tight installation locations below the waterline or in transom applications. At 0.4 pounds, it is lightweight enough for straightforward handling during installation or replacement of an existing thru-hull fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen3 Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-9023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror Polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inner Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.88 x 1.88 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037462333\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hose does this thru-hull fitting accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-9023 thru-hull fitting is sized for 5\/8 inch inner-diameter hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 5-9023 fitting straight or angled?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a straight-thread thru-hull fitting, not an angled or tapered design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the fitting made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel with a mirror-polish finish, chosen for corrosion resistance in marine environments and a clean appearance on the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Gen3 Marine 5-9023 thru-hull fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Total length is 3 inches, with 2.7 inches of that being usable thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this thru-hull fitting weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-9023 weighs 0.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the overall dimensions of the fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 1.88 x 1.88 x 3 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this fitting typically used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Thru-hull fittings like the Gen3 Marine 5-9023 are used to route hose through the hull for applications such as bilge pump discharge, livewell intake, washdown pumps, and cooling water intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a backing nut or locknut for installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a thru-hull fitting of this type is installed through the hull and secured on the interior side with a locking nut, and the 2.7 inch thread length on the 5-9023 leaves enough thread to engage one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fitting fit any boat hull?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-9023 is a universal thru-hull fitting sized by thread and hose diameter rather than by a specific boat make or model, so fitment depends on matching hull thickness and hose size rather than a particular vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the fitting come polished or does it need finishing?\u003c\/strong\u003e It ships with a mirror-polish stainless steel finish already applied, ready to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a hose clamp included with the 5-9023?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing covers the stainless steel thru-hull fitting itself; a hose clamp sized for 5\/8 inch hose should be sourced separately to complete the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991701565659,"sku":"GEN-5-9023","price":10.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/GEN-5-9023__78987.1722493114.500.750.jpg?v=1785164337","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-3-stainless-steel-straight-thru-hull-fitting-5-8-hose-id-mpn-5-9023","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
