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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0506DP4CHR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSplash Guard Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSplash Guard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlame Arrestor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable 30 Mesh Stainless Steel Wire Screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hull Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226018619\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets U.S.C.G.
