Perko 0541DPGCHR Vented Gas Deck Fill, Straight Neck, 1-1/2 Inch Hose, Chrome-Plated Bronze Cap

The Perko 0541DPGCHR is a vented gas deck fill with a straight neck, built for boats using 1-1/2 inch fuel fill hose. The cap is chrome-plated bronze and is marked "GAS" so the fill is clearly identified at the deck, while the body is molded from durable black plastic. A stainless steel beaded chain keeps the cap tethered to the fill so it is never misplaced during fueling, and a deck plate key is included for opening and closing the cap.

This fill has an integral tank vent built into the fitting, complete with a flame arrestor and an anti-surge valve, so it manages both fuel filling and tank venting in a single deck fitting. The vent side connects to 5/8 inch vent hose. The flange measures 3-3/8 inches outside diameter and mounts over a 2-1/8 inch hole using #8 screws, matching standard Perko deck fill mounting patterns. Because it is a vented fill, Perko offers a mounting/heightening ring (sold separately) that is compatible with Fig. No. 0541 fills; the ring raises the cap and fill an additional 3/8 inch above the deck surface to reduce the chance of splashed water reaching the breathing vent in wet installations.

Suitable for boat gas tank installations where a straight-neck, 1-1/2 inch hose fill with integrated venting is required.
