Description
Perko 35° Vented Gas Fill | Boat Supply Store
This Perko combination deck fitting streamlines gasoline tank installations by integrating the fuel fill with a flame arrestor-equipped vent into a single unit. It eliminates the need for a separate vent plumbing assembly, a crucial consideration for minimizing installation complexity on vessels like center consoles operating in saltwater environments. The 35-degree angled neck facilitates improved hose routing, and the unit accommodates a 1-1/2" fuel hose and a 5/8" vent hose, requiring #10 screws for secure mounting.

Common Concerns Answered
Is the flip-top cap easy to operate?

Is this unit more expensive than basic deck fills?
This Perko model is priced higher than simpler, non-vented deck fills due to its integrated venting system with a flame arrestor, which adds significant safety and installation convenience.
