Cast from bronze with extra-sturdy wall thickness. Our pickups have a generous neck length to fit any hull and have straight pipe thread blending into tapered pipe thread at end for easy connection to piping or valves. Complete with flanged jam nut

With a solid glass hull and backing plate, it wasn't a problem, not so sure about a cored hulls though. Marine Hardware's thru hull fittings are excellent and the blended threads resolve the issue of pipe vrs. tapered thread designs.
I replaced all my factory gate valves with their bronze seacocks and ball valves.
