Overview

The Attwood Marine 11824-6 is a 1/4 inch in-line fuel line splice kit for repairing a damaged section of standard 1/4 inch inside diameter fuel hose. It uses a brass hose mender and includes two stainless steel hose clamps, so the basic connection pieces are in the pack and ready for a straightforward hose repair.

This is the kind of part you use when a fuel hose has a split, worn spot, or accidental cut and the rest of the line is still worth keeping in service. On a boat, that can save time at the dock and can also make sense as a spare repair item to keep with fuel system maintenance parts.

Key features

• Fits standard 1/4 inch inside diameter fuel hose for an in-line repair.
• Brass hose mender joins two hose ends in a straight splice.
• Includes two stainless steel hose clamps for securing the connection.
• Useful for repairing a leaking or broken section in an existing fuel line run.
• Compact kit format keeps the repair hardware together in one package.

Compatibility and fit

Check the hose inside diameter before ordering, because this kit is sized specifically for 1/4 inch I.D. fuel line. It is meant for splicing an existing hose run, not for changing hose size or replacing other fuel system fittings.

Installation and setup

For a clean repair, the hose ends should be in good condition and cut back to sound material before the splice is installed. Push each hose end fully onto the brass mender and tighten the included clamps evenly so the connection stays secure and easy to inspect later.

When used on board, it helps to place the splice where the hose is supported and not being forced into a hard bend. That matters in areas exposed to engine vibration or routine service access, where a fuel line connection needs to stay stable over time.

Materials and corrosion resistance

The mender is brass and the clamps are stainless steel, which is a sensible combination for marine fuel hose service. Those materials are a better match for damp compartments and general exposure around a boat than plain steel hardware.

Use on board

This kit suits boat owners who need a practical repair part for a damaged fuel hose without replacing the full line assembly. It also works well as a spare in a maintenance box for crews who want a simple in-line hose repair option close at hand.
