Whitecap Industries 6005C Flush Fuel Vent, 316 Stainless Steel, Chrome, 5/8 Inch Hose

The Whitecap Industries 6005C is a round-head, straight flush fuel vent built from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in marine environments. Its low-profile, flush-mount design sits nearly level with the deck or hull surface, protecting the vent shield from snags and impact while still allowing the fuel tank to breathe properly during fueling and temperature changes. The shielded head helps keep out spray and debris while permitting airflow.

This vent is sized for a 5/8 inch hose connection and requires a 1-9/16 inch mounting hole, making it a straightforward swap for boats using standard flush vent hardware. It is finished in chrome for a clean, polished appearance that matches other stainless deck hardware. As a universal-fit fitting, the Whitecap 6005C works with standard fuel vent hose setups rather than a single specific boat model.
