About Fittings - Skin & Marine Products
Skin fittings are the through-hull fittings that carry water in and out of a boat, and getting the material right matters as much as getting the size right. Hose Suppliers Australia stocks skin fittings in bronze, stainless steel and plastic from 12 mm to 50 mm, along with deck fillers, strainers, vented loops, sink wastes and fuel breathers, from our Brisbane warehouse.
Skin fittings and marine products we stock
- Bronze skin fittings: 12 mm to 50 mm, the traditional choice for hull penetrations.
- Stainless steel skin fittings: 12 mm to 50 mm for outlets, deck drains and transom fittings.
- Plastic skin fittings with hose tail: 12 mm to 40 mm for sink, shower and bilge discharge.
- Stainless steel deck fillers: 38 mm and 50 mm, marked diesel, petrol, water or waste so the wrong hose never goes in the wrong fill.
- Scoop strainers, vented loops and sink wastes: nylon and stainless sea scoops, Tru Design vented loops in 20 mm, 25 mm and 38 mm, and 25 mm white sink wastes.
- Marine fuel breathers: stainless steel and chrome breathers in 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm, straight or 90 degree.
Choosing the right skin fitting
- Size: match the tail to the hose inside diameter and the threaded length to the hull thickness.
- Material: bronze and stainless steel for permanent hull penetrations, plastic for above-waterline drains.
- Compatibility: keep one metal through each assembly so salt water cannot drive galvanic corrosion between dissimilar parts.
