A tank that can't breathe is a tank that causes problems — collapsed hoses, fuel delivery failures, and pressure buildup that stresses seals and fittings. For boat owners, marina operators, and yacht builders who need a reliable 316 stainless steel marine tank vent that holds up to saltwater, UV, and constant deck traffic, this fitting delivers a clean, corrosion-resistant solution in four configurations to match your installation layout.
Each set includes one vent fitting with a rubber sealing ring and securing nut. The body is precision investment-cast from marine-grade 316 stainless steel and finished with a mirror polish. Four models are available: Model 1 is a straight vent with a wide flange bowl cap — cap diameter 46mm (1.8"), total height 74mm (2.9"), shank thread diameter 27mm (1.1"), hose tail 16mm (5/8"). Model 2 is a 90° elbow version of the same flange bowl design — height 70mm (2.8"), same cap and shank dimensions. Model 3 is a compact straight vent without a flange bowl — cap diameter 25mm (1.0"), total height 76mm (3.0"), shank thread diameter 28mm (1.1"), hose tail 16mm (5/8"). Model 4 is the 90° elbow version of Model 3 — height 70mm (2.8"), same compact cap and shank dimensions. All models use a 16mm barbed hose tail compatible with standard marine vent hose.
These vents are well suited for fuel tank breather fittings on fiberglass powerboats and speedboats, fresh and saltwater tank venting on yachts and sailboats, and deck vent replacements on marina docks and pontoon boats — anywhere a durable stainless steel boat tank vent needs to seal cleanly and resist corrosion season after season.

Choose the straight vent when your hose runs directly downward from the deck fitting and you have vertical clearance below the deck. Choose the 90° elbow vent when space below the deck is limited or when your hose needs to exit horizontally — the elbow routes the hose parallel to the deck surface, saving several inches of vertical depth.
Models 1 and 2 include a wide flange bowl cap (46mm / 1.8" diameter) that sits flush on the deck surface, providing a larger, more finished appearance and a broader sealing footprint. Models 3 and 4 use a compact cylindrical cap (25mm / 1.0" diameter) without a flange bowl, suited for tighter deck spaces or a lower-profile installation.
All four models use a 16mm (5/8") barbed hose tail, compatible with standard 16mm marine fuel and water vent hoses. Confirm your existing hose inner diameter before ordering to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
Yes. Grade 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to chloride corrosion compared to 304 SS. It is the standard material for marine hardware exposed to saltwater spray, splash, and immersion. The mirror-polished finish further reduces surface oxidation over time.
The threaded shank diameter is 27mm (≈1.1") on Models 1 and 2, and 28mm (≈1.1") on Models 3 and 4. Drill your deck hole to match the shank diameter, insert the fitting from above, place the rubber gasket, and secure with the nut from below. Always verify the exact shank size against your specific model before cutting.
Yes. 316 stainless steel is chemically compatible with both fresh water and marine fuel (gasoline and diesel). The mesh screen in the cap prevents debris and insects from entering the tank while allowing pressure equalization. Confirm compatibility with any specialty fuels or additives before installation.
Yes. Each vent includes a rubber sealing ring that sits between the flange and the deck surface, providing a watertight seal when the nut is tightened from below. No additional sealant is required for standard installations, though marine-grade sealant can be added for extra protection on high-exposure areas.
