Marine Plumbing Explained

Quick overview about the plumbing fittings we supply.

Skin Fittings

Skin fittings are the components of a boat that allow the passage of water in and out from the hull. They provide a secure connection between a hose or pipe and the vessel, allowing for drainage of rainwater or seawater, as well as intake of cooling water for an engine. Skin fittings also permit installation of vents, such as bilge pumps, to remove unwanted water from the hull. They come in various shapes, sizes and materials, such as bronze, dzr or composite to suit different vessels and applications.

Non Return Valves

Non return valves on a boat are used to control the flow of water in and out of the vessel, such as from a bilge pump. They prevent backflow by maintaining pressure in one direction and preventing it from reversing course. The valve is designed to open when a certain pressure is applied, allowing water to travel through, but will close if the pressure drops or reverses. This helps protect against flooding and other problems caused by backflow of water. Non return valves are an essential part of any vessel’s water system, providing additional security and reliability in the case of an emergency.

Water Strainers

A water strainer on a boat's water system is a device that filters out dirt and other particles from the water before it passes through the system. It helps ensure that the pump, plumbing and other components are protected from debris, preventing clogging or corrosion. In addition to removing particles, it also helps to keep algae and other organisms out of the system, helping to maintain clean, safe and healthy water.

Hoses & Clips

Marine grade hoses are specially designed for use in the marine environment, which includes both salt water and fresh water. They consist of a tube, typically made from reinforced rubber or PVC, that carries fluids or gasses from one location to another. Hose clips are metal clips used to secure the ends of the hose at both its entry and exit points. These clips come in a variety of designs and sizes, depending on the type of hose being used and its application. Marine grade hoses and clips must also be highly resistant to corrosion, since they will be exposed to saltwater, which can cause rusting over time. Furthermore, they must also stand up to the harsh conditions created by frequent exposure to sun, wind, and rain.
