GROCO 1-1/2" NPT x 1-1/2" ID Bronze Pipe to Hose Straight Fitting

The GROCO 1-1/2" NPT x 1-1/2" ID Bronze Pipe to Hose Straight Fitting is a reliable marine-grade connector designed for use in systems requiring dependable pressure-tight transitions, such as raw water intakes and engine cooling lines. This fitting is essential for boaters who navigate saltwater environments, where corrosion can lead to fitting failures that may leave them stranded.

Constructed from marine-grade bronze, this fitting is engineered to resist galvanic corrosion, a common issue with steel and aluminum components in saltwater. The 1-1/2" NPT male connection easily screws into through-hulls and manifolds, while the 1-1/2" ID hose barb fits standard marine hoses without the need for reducers. The precision-molded barb ensures a mechanical seal when properly clamped, preventing leaks under pressure.

Boaters utilizing raw water cooling, livewell systems, or auxiliary through-hull plumbing will find this fitting indispensable, particularly those maintaining older vessels with corroded original fittings. Installation is straightforward, making it a practical choice for both seasoned and novice boaters looking to enhance their vessel's reliability.
