Perko 0506DP4CHR Chrome-Plated Straight Fuel Tank Vent with Black Splash Guard, 5/8 Inch Hose

The Perko 0506DP4CHR is a straight-style fuel tank vent built from chrome-plated zinc alloy, fitted with a black polymer splash guard to help keep water and spray out of the vent line. It is designed for boats with gasoline fuel systems and connects to 5/8 inch hose, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade for aging or corroded vent fittings. A removable 30 mesh stainless steel wire screen serves as a flame arrestor inside the vent body, a key safety feature for gasoline fuel tank venting.

This vent is rated for hulls up to 3/4 inch in maximum thickness, so it is intended for mounting through hull or transom surfaces within that thickness range. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion in the marine environment while giving a clean, finished appearance on deck or hull hardware. It is part of Perko's straight-style fuel tank vent line, which is also offered with a white splash guard and in a 90 degree angle body style for installations where a straight-through vent will not fit.

All of Perko's fuel tank vents in this line are designed to meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards (January 31, 1977) for gasoline fuel systems under 33 CFR 183, making this vent suitable for use on gasoline-powered boats that must comply with those requirements.
