Attwood Marine Livewell Aerator Heads, Fittings & Connectors
For serious anglers, a well-functioning livewell isn't a luxury — it's the difference between releasing a healthy fish and losing a prized catch. Attwood Marine has long been one of the most trusted names in marine plumbing components, and their lineup of livewell aerator heads, fittings, and connectors reflects decades of engineering specifically for the demands of on-water fishing. From tournament bass anglers to weekend walleye fishermen, Attwood's livewell hardware is a go-to choice for OEM boat builders and aftermarket upgrades alike.
Aerator Spray Heads Built for Performance
Attwood offers both adjustable and non-adjustable aerator spray head designs to suit a variety of livewell configurations. Their adjustable spray heads feature a rotating head with an O-ring that adjusts and holds a precise flow setting, and a patented interference-fit thread design engineered so the head will not vibrate loose or blow out under pressure. The 90° fitting geometry makes these heads practical for installation in tight livewell compartments, and they can accommodate tank wall thicknesses up to 5/8". Construction is polypropylene for long-lasting corrosion resistance in both fresh and saltwater environments.
Attwood's non-adjustable spray heads take a different approach: a multi-port spray pattern designed to maximize oxygen distribution throughout the livewell, improving fish survival rates on long days on the water. Built from durable ABS plastic, these heads are available in single-valve and double-valve configurations. The double-valve spray head is particularly versatile — one port handles freshwater fill while the other connects to a recirculating pump, giving anglers flexible aeration options without adding extra plumbing.
Fittings and Connectors That Complete the System
Beyond spray heads, Attwood's fitting lineup covers the full scope of livewell plumbing needs. Their double-ended thru-hull connectors are engineered to create a clean 3/4" passage through a transom or livewell wall for remote-mounted pump installations. The drain filter and thru-hull with strainer options include wire mesh strainers designed to block fish scales, debris, and trash from entering the pump — a critical feature for maintaining pump longevity. Attwood also produces acetal and polypropylene adapters, such as the 3/4-14 NPSM x 3/4" hose adapter, which are designed specifically to interface with Attwood's own A-Series aerator pump outlets and drain fittings, making system integration straightforward.
For anglers using Attwood's Tsunami pump platform, many of these fittings are engineered with Tsunami-compatible threaded outlets in mind, so components work seamlessly together without adaptors or improvised connections.
