Meeting Standards:
TruDesign Domed Skin Fittings are suitable for underwater and above water use. TruDesign Skin Fittings are certified by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) and Bureau VERITAS to ISO 9093-2.
They also comply with ABYC H-27 when used in conjunction with the TruDesign ABYC collar.
Origin and Materials:
Designed and made in New Zealand. The Skin Fitting body and nut are moulded from a glass-reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres provide dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability. These properties produce a significant weight reduction over metallic fittings.
TruDesign Skin Fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings.
When used below waterline, a Ball Valve should be connected directly to the Skin Fitting. This is for safety and compliance to relevant marine standards.
