Skin Fittings / Thru-Hull Recessed

Designed and made in New Zealand, the Recessed Skin Fitting body and nut are moulded from 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.
TruDesign Skin Fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings.

TruDesign Skin Fittings are certified by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) & Burea Veritas to meet; ISO 9093-2 Small craft -- Seacocks and through-hull fittings -- Part 2: Non-metallic.
They also comply with ABYC H-27 when used in conjunction with the TruDesign ABYC collar

When used in below waterline applications, a Ball Valve should be directly connected for safety and compliance to relevant marine standards
