Common Concerns Answered
How does the plastic construction compare to metal for underwater applications?
While plastic offers excellent corrosion resistance, some boaters prefer metal for extreme underwater applications where impact resistance or perceived longevity is paramount. This Perko fitting is ideal for applications where corrosion is a primary concern and impact is less likely.
Can this plastic fitting degrade from UV exposure over time?
Plastic materials can be susceptible to UV degradation with prolonged, unprotected exposure. Proper installation, occasional inspection, and applying UV protectants can significantly extend the service life of this fitting in marine environments.
Is this fitting suitable for permanently submerged applications?
This Perko fitting is designed for marine use, but for permanently submerged applications where constant high pressure or abrasion is a factor, a heavy-duty bronze fitting might be considered. For typical hull penetrations for livewells, bilge pumps, or raw water intakes, it performs reliably.
