It's chrome-plated brass with a standard garden hose thread on the outside and a 1\/2 inch IPT connection on the back. When you cast off, the included watertight cap seals it up tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you spend nights at a slip or a dock with a water spigot, a fresh water inlet is one of those small fittings that makes life aboard a lot easier. The Sea-Dog Fresh Water Inlet lets you connect a standard garden hose from the dock straight to your boat's pressurized water system. No more hauling jugs or babying the tank. You hook up, you've got running water at the galley sink and the head, and you save your onboard tank for when you cast off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is chrome-plated brass, so it holds up to salt air and the constant wet-dry cycle at the dock. The dockside connection is a 3\/4 inch, 12-thread female garden hose thread, which means any standard hose you'd buy at the hardware store threads right on. Behind the fitting, a 1\/2 inch female IPT connection ties into your boat's plumbing. The face measures 2-3\/4 inches across, so it sits flush and clean on a cabin side or a transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're not hooked up, the included black plastic watertight plug caps the inlet. That keeps spray, dirt, and bugs out of the line while you're underway or on the trailer. It's a simple screw-in cap, but it's the detail that keeps the whole system clean season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a common upgrade on cruisers, trawlers, and any liveaboard setup where you're plugged into shore water for days at a time. Installing it is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic plumbing. You'll cut a hole for the 2-3\/4 inch face, run your 1\/2 inch supply line to the IPT threads, and seal it up. One note worth saying plainly: dock water pressure can run higher than your onboard pump likes, so a lot of boaters add a pressure regulator inline to protect the plumbing. That's your call, but it's cheap insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass body stands up to salt air and the constant dockside wet-dry cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch - 12 female GHT dockside connection accepts any standard garden hose, no adapter needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch female IPT rear connection ties directly into your boat's pressurized water plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-3\/4 inch face mounts flush and clean on a cabin side, transom, or hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded black plastic watertight plug caps the inlet when you're underway or on the trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeeds shore water straight to the galley and head so you save the onboard tank for travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does this fresh water inlet connect to?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt gives you a dockside hookup to your boat's pressurized water system.
