Part Number:

Designed and made in New Zealand, TruDesign Skin Fittings with Tail are the superior composite thru-hull solution. The Skin Fitting with Tail body and nut are moulded from glass fibre reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provide dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability. These properties allow a significant weight reduction over metallic fittings. TruDesign Skin Fittings with Tail eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. Our Skin Fittings with Tail meet ISO International Standards giving added assurance of performance in the harsh marine environment.

Features:

  • Manufactured from a glass reinforced nylon composite - High strength and light weight
  • Compatible with all hull types - Can be used on aluminum, steel, wood or GRP hulls
  • Immune to corrosion and electrolysis - Long life with no concerns over decreased performance due to corrosion
  • Chemical resistant - Impervious to diesel, petrol and antifouling paints
  • UV resistant - These fittings will not break down with ultraviolet light or discolour from the sun
  • High quality surface finish Will not discolour with green film as similar bronze fittings do
  • Paintable - Can be painted with all types of antifouling. Antifouling paint stays adhered to the skin fitting, alleviating the chore of grinding and cleaning back flaked paint from bronze fittings before applying antifouling
  • Long Tail - Hose can be fitted with 2 hose clamps for a secure connection
  • Large operating temperature range - Suitable for all marine environments, from -20°C to +110°C
  • Supplied in individual plastic bags with header card and information sheet - Header card states IMCI Certification, size of hose tail and comes with instructions in the bag as per IMCI regulations
