TruDesign Recessed Skin Fittings

\n
• Designed and made in New Zealand, the Skin Fitting body and nut are moulded from a glass-reinforced nylon composite.
\n
• High strength, high-modulus glass fibres provide dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability.
\n
• These properties allow a significant weight reduction over metallic fittings.
\n
• TruDesign Skin Fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings.
\n

\n
• When used in below waterline applications, a Ball Valve should be directly connected for safety and compliance to relevant marine standards.
\n
• An Application Tool is available to allow the skin fitting to be installed by one person.
\n
• Please download the Data Sheet for dimensions, features and installation instructions.
\n
• Suitable Adhesive/Sealant for bonding the skin fittings can be found here.
\n
• See the Mould Plugs for use with these Skin Fittings. Ideal for production boat builders.
