Professional Grade Cable Protection for Harsh Marine Environments
Upgrade your vessel's cable management with our Midget Clam Shell Vent. Precision-engineered from high-grade AISI 316 Stamped Stainless Steel, this heavy-duty cover is designed to withstand the brutal conditions of saltwater environments where standard hardware fails.
- Maximum Corrosion Resistance: The 316 alloy composition provides superior protection against pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304 grade steel.
- Splashproof Shielding: The classic clam shell geometry effectively deflects water, debris, and UV rays away from critical wiring and hose penetrations.
- Mirror Polish Finish: Beyond aesthetics, the high-gloss mirror finish facilitates easy cleaning and reflects solar radiation to prevent heat buildup.
- Universal Application: Ideal for boats, yachts, RVs, and caravans, providing a secure and organized passage for transducer cables, VHF antenna wires, and NMEA 2000 backbones.
Constructed from solid metal to eliminate the cracking and fading associated with plastic alternatives, this vent ensures long-term integrity for your deck or hull installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this vent rust or pit in saltwater like standard hardware?
- No. Unlike common 304 grade steel, this vent is made from AISI 316 stainless steel which includes molybdenum. This specific alloy is designed for marine environments to provide maximum resistance to saltwater pitting and corrosion.
- Can I use this for heavy electrical cables?
- This is a 'Small' midget vent with an opening height of 0.4 inches (10mm). It is perfectly sized for transducer cables, VHF antenna wires, and small hoses, but we recommend measuring high-gauge battery cables to ensure they fit through the 10mm clearance.
- Does this require special tools for installation?
- Installation is straightforward using the three pre-drilled 3mm mounting holes. It can be secured to hulls or decks using standard marine-grade screws or bolts (sold separately) and a sealant like 3M 5200 for a completely waterproof seal.
