Whitecap Fuel Vent - Round Head, 90 Degree, 9/16" Hose

The Whitecap Fuel Vent – Round Head, 90 Degree, 9/16" Hose is a marine-grade fuel system component designed for vessels requiring reliable ventilation of fuel tanks during fill and operational cycles. Whether you're outfitting a small recreational boat, commercial fishing vessel, or maintaining existing marine infrastructure, this 90-degree fuel vent prevents vacuum lock and pressure buildup that can compromise fuel delivery and tank integrity. Its compact, durable design integrates seamlessly into tight engine compartments where space and reliability are non-negotiable.

Constructed from C.P. (Copper Plated) brass, this fuel vent combines corrosion resistance with structural integrity—essential properties in salt-water and freshwater environments where standard steel components fail prematurely. The round head design minimizes profile while the 90-degree elbow configuration allows flexible routing through cramped bilge and engine spaces without kinking or restricting airflow. The 3/4" mounting hole accommodates standard marine through-hull fittings, while the 9/16" hose connection accepts common fuel vent hose diameters, ensuring compatibility with OEM and aftermarket fuel systems. Weighing just 0.3 lbs, the compact 3 x 1 x 7-inch profile reduces installation complexity and vibration-related stress on fuel line connections.

Marine technicians, boat builders, and equipment maintenance teams benefit from this vent's straightforward installation and long service life when paired with reinforced fuel hose rated for marine applications. It is suitable for both gasoline and diesel fuel systems operating in recreational, commercial, and military marine vessels. Proper installation requires routing the vent hose above the waterline and securing all connections to prevent siphoning or water ingress—standard best practices that this component supports through its robust brass construction and reliable 90-degree configuration.
