The Trudesign backing plate for thru-hulls is designed to increase the strength and structural integrity of thru-hulls installed below the waterline. Its use is essential to enhance safety and prevent damage or deformation in the hull area most exposed to water.
Technical Features
- Compatible with 1/2'', 3/4'' and 1'' thru-hulls.
- Manufactured according to the ABYC USA standards, an international benchmark in marine safety.
- Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant composite materials, suitable for harsh marine environments.
- Easy installation between the hull and the thru-hull.
Advantages
- Distributes the thru-hull load evenly.
- Prevents cracks, leaks, and potential accidents caused by impacts or vibrations.
- Corrosion-free material, ideal for prolonged use in both saltwater and freshwater.
Applications
- Installation of new piping through the hull.
- Maintenance or improvement of onboard plumbing systems.
- Repair or reinforcement of old thru-hulls.
Installation Tips
- Ensure to clean and prepare the surface before mounting the backing plate.
- Use quality marine sealants to guarantee watertightness.
- Verify measurement compatibility with your current installation.
Maintenance
- Annual inspection recommended during hull surveys.
- No lubrication or specific additional maintenance required.
