3/8" Marine Fuel Hose Type B - MPI 375

How to Order Bulk Fuel Hose

This hose is sold by the foot. Enter the quantity based on the total continuous length required for your installation.

For example, if you need 8 feet of fuel hose, order a quantity of 8.

Type B Marine Fuel Hose

Type B marine fuel hose is commonly used in exposed or above-deck fuel-system applications where that hose classification is appropriate.

Type B hose does not carry the same additional fire-test classification associated with Type A marine fuel hose. If the installation requires Type A hose, use the 3/8" Type A option linked below.

3/8" Type A vs. Type B Fuel Hose

Same Clamp for Both 3/8" Fuel Hoses

Unlike some of the smaller fuel-hose sizes, both of these 3/8" fuel-line options use the same Oetiker 4-185 clamp.

That means the clamp selection stays the same whether you choose the Type A or Type B 3/8" hose. The main decision between the two hoses is the required marine fuel-hose classification for the installation.

What This Fuel Hose is Used For

The 375 3/8" Type B fuel hose is used for building, repairing or replacing marine fuel lines where 3/8" hose and Type B construction are appropriate.

Bulk hose sold by the foot makes it possible to build the required length and pair it with the correct primer bulb, fittings and clamps for the specific boat and engine installation.
