Whitecap S-3809C 90-Degree Thru-Hull Fitting with Barb, 1 Inch Hose Size
Whitecap S-3809C 90-Degree Thru-Hull Fitting with Barb, 1 Inch Hose Size
The Whitecap S-3809C is a 90-degree thru-hull fitting with a barbed hose connection, built for routing a 1 inch hose through the hull at a right angle where a straight-through fitting will not fit the available space. The angled barb outlet lets the hose run parallel to the hull or turn into a tight compartment without a sharp hose bend, which helps prevent hose kinking and premature wear at the connection point. Construction combines 316 stainless steel with plastic components for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. The fitting is sized for a 1 inch hose, with a flange outside diameter of 1-7/8 inches and a hull cut-out of 1-5/16 inches, so it mounts to a hull with a standard 1-5/16 inch hole. Thread length is 1-5/8 inches and barb length is 1-1/8 inches, with a maximum hull thickness rating of 1-1/4 inches, making it suited for hulls up to that thickness. Typical uses include bilge pump discharge, livewell or baitwell drains, washdown lines, and other below-waterline or above-waterline plumbing runs where a 1 inch hose needs to pass through the hull at an angle. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriately sized hose clamp and bed the flange against the hull with marine sealant for a watertight installation.
