GROCO 1-Inch Bronze Extra-Long Thru-Hull Fitting

The GROCO THXL-1000-W extra-long thru-hull is intended for installations where a standard-length fitting does not provide enough threaded reach through the hull or backing structure. Its longer body gives the installer additional working length for thicker laminates, backing blocks, or mounting arrangements that need more thread engagement inside the vessel. The straight configuration works well when the connected valve or plumbing can align directly with the hull penetration. A retaining nut is supplied so the fitting can be secured before the inside connection is completed.

GROCO makes the THXL-1000-W from C83600 bronze and uses an NPSM/NPT combination thread on the extended body. That thread arrangement is designed to work with compatible marine plumbing components while preserving the extra reach that defines this version. Before final assembly, the installer can trim the plumbing layout around the actual available thread rather than forcing an undersized standard fitting to work. The longer shank should not be treated as a substitute for proper backing or support; the hull-side installation still needs a sound, evenly loaded mounting surface.

• Extended threaded body for thicker mounting sections
• Retaining nut included
• Combination NPSM/NPT connection
• Straight layout for direct interior plumbing

Measure the complete hull and backing thickness before installing the THXL-1000-W, then dry-fit the inside valve or adapter to confirm usable thread engagement. Bed the exterior flange evenly and support the connected plumbing so movement is not transferred into the hull penetration. Once the boat is in service, inspect the fitting and surrounding bedding for leakage or movement as part of normal below-waterline checks.
