Scandvik Water Outlets & Washdown Spigots

Scandvik Water Outlets & Washdown Spigots: Marine-Grade Precision Built to Last

When salt air, UV exposure, and constant moisture are part of everyday life aboard a vessel, the fittings you choose matter as much as the plumbing behind them. Scandvik has spent over 40 years engineering marine hardware that holds up where lesser products fail — and their water outlets and washdown spigots are a prime example of that commitment to quality.

Built from 316 Stainless Steel

The foundation of Scandvik's washdown spigot lineup is material selection. Scandvik washdown spigots are constructed from rugged 316 stainless steel — the same marine-grade alloy trusted across commercial and recreational vessels for its superior resistance to saltwater corrosion. This isn't a cosmetic choice; 316 stainless maintains its integrity in punishing offshore environments where lesser-grade metals would pit and fail within a season.

Two Configurations: Straight and Angled

Scandvik offers washdown spigots in both straight and angled configurations, allowing boaters to choose the best fit for their specific bulkhead layout. The 316 stainless steel washdown spigot mounts easily with three #6 screws to a bulkhead, features a 1/4-turn ceramic valve, and uses standard 3/4" garden hose thread for hose attachment. That ceramic valve is a standout detail — smooth, reliable, and far more resistant to wear than conventional rubber-seated valves over years of use.

The angled model includes interchangeable FRESH and RAW water indicator buttons , a thoughtful design feature that helps crew members quickly identify the water source at a glance — an important safety and maintenance consideration on vessels that carry both potable and raw water systems.

Simple Installation, Flexible Connection

The water connection uses a 1/2" NPS-M threaded shaft, with an optional 1/2" hose barb also available , making it straightforward to integrate into a wide variety of onboard plumbing setups. The flange diameter is a generous 2-1/4", providing a stable base for the spigot, while the mounting hole requirement is just 1" — meaning installation is accessible even on existing boats without major deck modification.

Why Scandvik Stands Out in This Category

Scandvik is known for LED lighting systems, faucets, showers, and washdown equipment engineered for durability and style, with each product combining European design with marine-grade materials. This philosophy carries directly into their washdown spigots: clean, functional aesthetics married to hardware that genuinely performs season after season. Scandvik offers a one-year unconditional guarantee to the original purchaser against defects in materials or workmanship , reflecting their confidence in build quality.

Whether you're rinsing down a fishing deck after a long day offshore, hosing salt off dock lines, or cleaning gear at the swim platform, a Scandvik washdown spigot delivers dependable flow control in a compact, corrosion-resistant package.
