Whitecap Industries 316 Stainless Steel 30 Degree Water Deck Fill, 1-1/2 Inch Hose, EPA Marked (6125AEPAC)
The Whitecap Industries 6125AEPAC is a 30 degree angled deck fill built from 316 stainless steel and marked WATER for filling a boat's fresh water tank from the deck. The 30 degree angle directs the fill spout so hoses and fill hardware clear the deck surface more easily than a straight fitting, which simplifies both installation and everyday use at the dock or fuel station. Construction is 316 stainless steel, a marine grade alloy chosen for its resistance to salt water corrosion and its ability to hold up to constant deck exposure, spray, and UV without pitting or rusting like lower grade steel.
The fitting is sized for 1-1/2 inch hose, connecting to the boat's fill hose to route water down to the tank. The cap is marked EPA, so the deck fill is clearly identified at a glance for the correct fluid, which helps prevent an accidental cross-fill into the wrong tank. This deck fill mounts through the deck and is a direct fit anywhere a 1-1/2 inch water fill opening is needed, making it a straightforward replacement for a worn, cracked, or corroded existing water deck fill. At 0.9 pounds, it is a compact, low profile deck hardware piece designed to sit flush and hold up to years of marine use.
