Whitecap Industries S-3808C 90 Degree Stainless Steel Thru-Hull Fitting with Barb, 3/4 Inch
The Whitecap Industries S-3808C is a 90 degree thru-hull fitting with a barb connection, built for routing a hose through a boat hull at a right angle rather than straight through. It is made of 316 stainless steel with a nylon component and finished in black, giving it corrosion resistance for continuous saltwater or freshwater exposure. The 90 degree barb design lets a hose enter the hull at an angle, which is useful in tight spaces below the waterline where a straight thru-hull will not fit or where hose routing needs to turn immediately at the hull wall.
The fitting is sized for a 3/4 inch hose and has a flange outer diameter of 1-7/8 inches, a thread length of 1-7/8 inches, and a barb length of 15/16 inch. Overall length of the fitting is 3-1/8 inches, and it requires a cut out of 1-5/16 inches in the hull. It is rated for hulls up to 1-1/4 inches thick, covering most fiberglass and composite hull sections. Typical uses include bilge pump discharge, livewell and baitwell plumbing, washdown lines, and other below-waterline hose connections where a secure, corrosion-resistant barb fitting is needed.
