Perko 0561DP4CHR 90 Degree Gas Tank Vent, Chrome-Plated Swivel Elbow, Black Splash Guard

The Perko 0561DP4CHR is a 90 degree angle gas tank vent designed to safely vent gasoline fuel tanks on outboard, I/O, and inboard powered boats. The vent features a chrome-plated zinc cap paired with a zinc elbow, so the assembly resists corrosion in the marine environment while the swivel-style elbow design allows it to turn in any direction for flexible hose routing during installation. A removable 30 mesh stainless steel wire screen flame arrestor is mounted inside the vent body, a critical safety feature for gasoline fuel systems that helps prevent external ignition sources from reaching vapors inside the tank.

A black plastic splash guard shields the vent opening from spray and washdown water, and the unit is rated for a maximum hull thickness of 1 inch, with a hose size of 5/8 inch to match standard fuel vent hose. Perko builds this vent to meet U.S.C.G. Safety Standards of January 31, 1977 for gasoline fuel systems under 33 CFR 183, so it is a suitable direct replacement for OEM or worn gasoline vent fittings on boats that require Coast Guard compliant venting. This is the Retail Pkg 90 degree, black splash guard version of the Perko fuel vent line; Perko also offers a straight style and a white splash guard version under different part numbers, so confirm the 0561DP4CHR part number before ordering to get the correct angle and color.
