Marine thru-hull fitting and drainage device
A marine thru-hull fitting drainage device for directing fluid away from a thru-hull fitting installed through a bore in a hull of a vessel includes: an elongate thru-hull body forming a channel and having a flange formed on an end thereof; a channel body formed on a face of the flange and extending away from the hull of the vessel, the channel body forming a drainage channel for directing water from the channel of the thru-hull body away from the hull of the vessel; a groove formed in the channel body; and a lip protruding from a bottom edge of the channel body.
1. A marine thru-hull fitting drainage device for directing fluid away from a thru-hull fitting installed through a bore in a hull of a vessel, the drainage device comprising:
an elongate thru-hull body forming a channel and having a flange formed on an end thereof;
a channel body formed on a face of the flange and extending away from the hull of the vessel, the channel body forming a drainage channel for directing water from the channel of the thru-hull body away from the hull of the vessel;
a groove formed in the channel body; and
a lip protruding from a bottom edge of the channel body.
2. The marine thru-hull fitting drainage device of claim 1 , wherein the thru-hull fitting device is formed of stainless steel.
3. The marine thru-hull fitting drainage device of claim 1 , the channel body tapering in width from the first end adjacent to the hull to the second end of the channel body.
4. The marine thru-hull drainage device of claim 1 , wherein the groove has a tapered width such that a width of the groove expands from a narrower width at a first end to a wider width at a second end of the groove.
5. The marine thru-hull drainage device of claim 1 , wherein the channel body has a width that is greater than a width of the flange.
6. The marine thru-hull drainage device of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the elongate thru-hull body is threaded for engaging a nut thereon.
7. A marine thru-hull fitting drainage device for directing fluid away from a thru-hull fitting installed through a bore in a hull of a vessel, the drainage device comprising:
an elongate thru-hull body forming a channel and having a flange formed on an end thereof;
a channel body formed on a face of the flange and extending away from the hull of the vessel, the channel body forming a drainage channel for directing water from the channel of the thru-hull body away from the hull of the vessel;
a groove formed in the channel body; and
a lip protruding from a bottom edge of the channel body;
wherein the thru-hull fitting device is formed of stainless steel.
8. The marine thru-hull fitting drainage device of claim 7 , the channel body tapering in width from the first end adjacent to the hull to the second end of the channel body.
9. The marine thru-hull drainage device of claim 7 , wherein an outer surface of the elongate thru-hull body is threaded for engaging a nut thereon.
10. A marine thru-hull fitting drainage device for directing fluid away from a thru-hull fitting installed through a bore in a hull of a vessel, the drainage device comprising:
an elongate thru-hull body forming a channel and having a flange formed on an end thereof;
a channel body formed on a face of the flange and extending away from the hull of the vessel, the channel body forming a drainage channel for directing water from the channel of the thru-hull body away from the hull of the vessel;
a groove formed in the channel body, the groove having a tapered width such that a width of the groove expands from a narrower width at a first end to a wider width at a second end of the groove; and
a lip protruding from a bottom edge of the channel body.
