For use below the water line TruDesign Skin Fittings are certified by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) and Bureau Veritas to meet; ISO 9093-2 Small craft -- Seacocks and through-hull fittings -- Part 2: Non-metallic. They also comply with ABYC H-27 when used in conjunction with the TruDesign ABYC collar
Designed and made in New Zealand, the Recessed Skin Fitting body and nut are moulded from glass-reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres provide dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability. These properties allow a significant weight reduction over metallic fittings. TruDesign Skin Fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings.
When used in below waterline applications, a Ball Valve should be directly connected for safety and compliance to relevant marine standards
