Designed and made in New Zealand, TruDesign Connectors are the superior composite connection for connecting threaded fittings. TruDesign Connectors are moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high modulus, glass reinforced nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability. TruDesign Connectors eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings

Features:

Manufactured from a glass reinforced nylon composite - High strength and light weight

Compatible with all hull types Can be used on aluminum, steel, wood or FRP 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

Fits TruDesign Skin Fittings, 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∞C to +100∞C

Specifications:

The connecting threads are BSP (British Standard Pipe) and are parallel. These parallel threads are designed so that thread tape is wound onto the male thread and the fitting screwed into place. The advantage of parallel threads rather than tapered is that there is maximum engagement between the mating threads providing a strong and watertight seal.

Mixing parallel and tapered threads can cause strength and sealing problems as the engagement can frequently be only a few turns.
