 |
|
Has anyone purchased Whitecap through-hulls or other Whitecap products? I'm relocating one bilge pump and adding another. Both will require 90 degree fittings. The only manufacturer that I can find that makes these is Whitecap. I could assemble a lot of plumbing pieces to accomplish the same thing, but it might not fit. The reason I am asking is some of their other products look rather cheaply made--like Chinese knockoffs. I don't want to compromise on through-hulls, but maybe these are OK. Any experience here? Thanks!
I should add that I'm not looking for plastic--Stainless or bronze only. |

These guys have all sorts of through hull fittings stainless, bronze etc.
https://www.fisheriessupply.com/ If its a close quarters 90 I have cut off the hose barb on a straight bronze through hull & threaded (tapped 1/2 or 3/4 npt) the inside and added a bronze 90 & hose barb. Similar to this.

| Thanks for the info. I actually found the through-hulls I wanted at Groco's website. A lot of vendors don't sell direct, but Groco does. Problem solved. |
