I've got a job in right now that needs a plastic thru hull fitting (barbed), with the capability of being plugged, with some sort of readily available drain plug. All the fittings seem to be marketed with the hose barb size, but what I'm needing is the ID of the other end of the fitting, so I can match it with the proper plug. Obviously, the easy answer would be to acquire the fitting first, or measure one in the store, but I have to order all items of this nature over the web, as I don't have any decent store selling this sort of item within almost an hour of here, and I would like to consolidate all my items into a single order.
What I need is for someone (or multiple people :lol: ) that happens to have a plastic thru hull within easy reach to measure both the OD of the barb (to determine what size that would be sold as) and the ID of the other end, where the plug would be. I'm probably looking at fittings in the 3/4 - 1 1/8" range, but for the sake of comparison, just about any fitting size should work.
For clarification, we are speaking of fittings like the one in the link. Brand is no matter, but if you happen to know the brand, it certainly wouldn't hurt.

If a few of you didn't mind checking either one installed on your boat, or a new one you are about to install in a mod, I would be most grateful. Of the 5 boats on the premises at the moment, and in my supply of various boat parts, there isn't a single thru-hull fitting to be found, believe it or not, and I'm really not thrilled with the idea of a nearly 2 hour round trip just to go measure a plastic fitting.
Thanks,
Dawson
