Description
Johnson Pump Bulkhead Fitting 3/4" Hose (Part Number: 09-10616) is a specialized marine-grade component designed to create a watertight connection for plumbing lines passing through a vessel's hull, deck, or internal bulkheads. It adapts a 3/4" hose barb on one end to a 3/4" Garden Hose Thread (GHT) connection on the other, making it optimal for livewells, bilge discharge, and washdown pump systems.
Product Specifications
- Manufacturer Part Number: 09-10616
- UPC: 729321912198
- Fitting Connection Type: 3/4" Hose Barb to 3/4" Garden Hose Thread (GHT)
- Material Construction: High-quality, corrosion-resistant marine brass
- Environmental Rating: Fully certified for CE and RoHS compliance
- Application Suitability: Engineered for both freshwater and saltwater environments
Key Benefits & Design Features
- Leak-Proof Barrier: Creates a structural seal to maintain structural dry zones when routing fluid transfer lines through internal compartment dividers.
- Corrosion Resistance: Marine-grade brass composition protects the threading against abrasive saltwater scaling and oxidation over time.
- Streamlined Workspace Compatibility: Features a compact, lightweight structure optimized for tight routing profiles behind panels and under decks.
Essential Installation Guidelines
- Drill the Hole: Use an appropriate hole saw to create a clean opening matching the outer diameter of the fitting's threads.
- Apply Sealant: Add a continuous bead of high-performance marine sealant (such as BoatLIFE Marine Silicone) around the mounting flange to guarantee structural waterproofing.
- Secure the Locknut: Thread the backing nut tight from the opposite side using standard plumbing tools. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread stripping.
