Stainless 90° Fuel Vent with Plastic Cap (Ø15 mm)

This high-end 90-degree fuel vent is engineered to meet the demands of the most rigorous marine applications. Combining a solid stainless steel body with an ergonomic plastic cap, it offers both strength and convenience. 316 stainless steel, used for the main construction, is the gold standard in the marine world – it resists corrosion even with constant exposure to saltwater and fuel, retaining its integrity and shine. This means that even after years of service, the vent will function flawlessly and look pristine. The plastic cap, on the other hand, eliminates any risk of rust stains and remains cool to the touch in sunlight – a plus in hot climates.

Functionally, this vent performs a critical role: it provides bi-directional ventilation for your tank. As temperatures rise or during refueling, excess vapors escape through the vent instead of building pressure in the tank. Conversely, as the engine draws fuel, the vent admits air so no vacuum forms to impede fuel flow. The result is optimal engine performance and no unpleasant surprises when opening your filler cap (like hissing or fuel spray).

Design & Installation: The angled shape (90°) makes this vent ideal for mounting on the yacht’s exterior hull sides. Its threaded neck allows secure tightening with a nut, and the included gasket ensures water-tightness around the installation. The barb accommodates Ø15 mm vent hose – a common size, simplifying hookup. Once installed, the low-profile cap sits nearly flush, with only the sleek stainless trim ring visible.

Why Choose This Model: Beyond obvious corrosion resistance advantages, this vent also adds aesthetic value. The polished inox gives your deck a premium look, and the quality of craftsmanship is evident at first glance. This is a component you can rely on for the long haul – no leaks, no clogged screens, and no material degradation.
