Through-hull

Suitable for underwater use, TruDesign range of 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.

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 allow a significant weight reduction over metallic fittings.

• Compatible with all hull types – Can be used on aluminium, 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 – Will not degrade or discolour with ultraviolet light from the sun

ISO 9093-2 & ABYC H27 Certified

TruDesign skin fitting install tools are a world-first which allows the installation of a skin fitting to be carried out by a single person. No longer is a second person needed to hold the skin fitting in place on the outside of the hull and stop it from turning whilst the first person on the inside of the hull tightens the skin fitting nut.

• Manufactured from a glass-reinforced nylon composite – High strength, durable and light weight
• Compatible with both Domed and Recessed head TruDesign Skin Fittings from ¾” to 2″ in size
• Positive ‘click’ to notify once properly engaged with the Skin Fitting
• Handles for clean and easy handling of a Skin Fitting with sealant or epoxy adhesive applied to it
