Forespar

<h3>About Forespar</h3><p>Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, <strong>Forespar Products Corp.</strong> has built a decades-long reputation as one of the marine industry's most trusted manufacturers of sailing hardware and below-the-waterline plumbing systems. From competitive racers to bluewater cruisers, sailors around the world rely on Forespar's engineering precision and material innovation to keep their vessels safe, light, and seaworthy.</p><h3>Marelon®: The Material That Changed Marine Plumbing</h3><p>At the heart of Forespar's identity is <strong>Marelon®</strong>, a proprietary polymer composite formulation the company developed to address the chronic vulnerabilities of traditional bronze marine hardware. Marelon® components are inherently immune to corrosion and electrolysis — two of the most persistent threats to any vessel's underwater fittings. Whether above or below the waterline, Marelon® delivers structural integrity that matches or exceeds its metal counterparts, all at roughly half the weight of equivalent bronze parts. This weight savings matters significantly on performance sailboats where every pound of displacement counts.</p><p>Forespar's precision-molded Marelon® plumbing systems carry UL approval and meet A.B.Y.C. (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards, giving sailors and surveyors alike the confidence of knowing these components have passed rigorous independent testing. The result is a complete line of <a href="/7351-forespar-seacocks-200913">seacocks</a> and <a href="/7351-forespar-sea-strainers-200906">sea strainers</a> that are lighter, longer-lasting, and easier to service than traditional bronze or brass alternatives.</p><h3>On-Deck Innovation: Tiller Extensions &amp; More</h3><p>Forespar's innovation doesn't stop below the waterline. Their <a href="/7351-forespar-tiller-extensions-accessories-201068">tiller extensions and accessories</a> are engineered for responsive, fatigue-free helming, whether you're racing around the buoys or hand-steering offshore. With ergonomic designs and quality materials built to handle the stresses of saltwater sailing, Forespar tiller gear is a staple aboard racing dinghies and performance cruisers alike.</p><h3>Protecting Your Vessel Above and Below</h3><p>Forespar also addresses some of sailing's less glamorous but critically important concerns. Their <a href="/7351-forespar-ground-plateslightning-protection-products-200501">ground plates and lightning protection products</a> offer sailors a proven method for safely dissipating electrical charge during storms — a genuine life-safety consideration for any offshore passage-maker. Meanwhile, the marine environment's constant humidity makes mold and mildew an unavoidable challenge aboard any boat. Forespar's line of <a href="/7351-forespar-mold-mildew-products-200690">mold and mildew products</a> helps boaters protect upholstery, bilges, and living spaces from the biological growth that thrives in wet, enclosed environments.</p><h3>Why Sailors Choose Forespar</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Proven material science:</strong> Marelon® is a proprietary composite trusted for corrosion and electrolysis resistance</li><li><strong>Weight advantage:</strong> Marelon® components weigh approximately half as much as comparable bronze parts</li><li><strong>Industry certifications:</strong> UL approved and A.B.Y.C. compliant plumbing systems</li><li><strong>Breadth of catalog:</strong> Over 100 products spanning deck hardware, plumbing, safety, and maintenance</li><li><strong>American heritage:</strong> Privately held and California-based since 1965</li></ul><p>Whether you're outfitting a new build, replacing aging through-hull fittings, or upgrading your helm station, Forespar offers a rigorously engineered solution backed by six decades of marine expertise.</p>

Product Details

The Forespar CF252 Marelon hose adapter/tailpipe is engineered for reliable marine plumbing connections in demanding saltwater environments. Constructed from high-strength, glass-reinforced Marelon composite material, this adapter provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bronze fittings while eliminating the risk of galvanic corrosion.

Key Features:

  • Glass-reinforced Marelon construction for exceptional strength and durability
  • Corrosion-proof performance in saltwater applications
  • Will not conduct electricity, preventing galvanic corrosion
  • Ideal for connecting hose lines to ball valves, seacocks, and through-hull fittings
  • Lightweight alternative to bronze with no sacrifice in strength
  • Smooth bore design for unrestricted flow

Marelon fittings have become the preferred choice for marine professionals and boat owners who demand long-lasting, maintenance-free plumbing components. This hose adapter tailpipe is perfect for below-waterline installations where traditional metal fittings would be vulnerable to corrosion and failure.

I need this for my 98 Toyota Tacoma just want to make sure it's right for that truck. Same part number I put on my 99 Thanks

Need them fast

This was a site I was unfamiliar with at first. However after doing a little price comparison amongst the big names, this site had beaten Amazon, eBay, and online auto parts chains in terms of price. Made sure it was the same brand part I was looking for, went ahead and ordered, and had it in the next two days. Was pleasantly surprised, thanks!

Just hoping this is universal. It didn't say left or right. I need drivers side. Thank you.

Best price by far! Fast shipping!

Great linkage t Amazon checkout

easy to use website

Best prices on the Net with easy payment and shipping. I will definitely use them again!

Hope I get the parts I expect some of the description is hard to interpret.

Not happy with the20.00 shipping since on Google it said it was10.00.

Ordering parts was easy and quick with Autoplicity. They shipped quickly and I had the parts that I needed in no time at all.

Good communication, very slow shipping. Placed my order on 3/8/12 it didn't even ship until 3/20/12. Then another 4 to 5 days after that for it to arrive.
