Designed and made in New Zealand, TruDesign Recessed Skin Fittings are the superior composite thru-hull solution for reduced drag. The Recessed Skin Fitting body and nut are moulded from glass fibre 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. Our Skin Fittings 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 most hull types - can be used on 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
- Fits TruDesign Ball Valves & BSP Parallel threads - universal compatibility to other TruDesign fittings, and other marine components
- Large operating temperature range - suitable for all marine environments, from -20
