S/S Bulkhead Fitting with Hose Adaptor
Make the washdown hose removable at the deck with this stainless steel bulkhead fitting and hose adaptor. The adaptor twist-locks into the deck receptacle and uses a double O-ring seal.
A stop valve at the deck mount shuts the water off when the adaptor is removed. A non-return valve in the hose adaptor helps prevent water spraying from the disconnected hose.
Choosing and using this product
Keep service points accessible and follow the relevant system instructions for fastening, sealing and hose support. Avoid forcing a hose or thread to compensate for an unsuitable fitting. Confirm the finished connection and normal system operation before putting the installation back into use.
Check the stated contents when putting together the plumbing run. A fitting-only listing does not necessarily include hose, clamps, seals or a mounting assembly. Lay out the required connections before installation so the finished arrangement can be checked as a whole.
When comparing alternatives, use the specified material and intended application rather than assuming every marine fitting is suitable for every liquid. Keep the part reference with the plumbing records so future spares can be matched to the connection actually installed.
For a replacement, inspect the existing fitting and adjoining hose before ordering. Consider the direction of the connection as well as its size. An elbow, straight fitting or barbed tail changes the route and clearance needed even when the nominal connection size is similar.
Plan the connection from the system outward: identify the fluid application, mating thread or hose size, and the space available for the fitting. A nominal pipe-thread size is a separate measurement from a hose diameter, so compare the correct dimension at each connection.
Where stainless steel is specified, match the stated grade and the adjoining materials when planning the installation. The grade identifies the material selection; it does not by itself establish a load capacity or make every fastening arrangement suitable. Check the complete assembly and its intended application together.
