TruDesign Load Bearing Collars ABYC H-27

TruDesign Load Bearing Collars ABYC H-27 – Reinforcement Collars for Marine Ball Valve Assemblies

The TruDesign Load Bearing Collars ABYC H-27 range is designed for use with TruDesign Skin Fittings and Ball Valves in marine plumbing systems. These reinforcement collars increase assembly strength and help ensure compliance with North American ABYC H-27 standards for static load resistance.

When installed correctly, the Skin Fitting – Ball Valve – Hose Tail assembly is capable of withstanding a 500 lb (227 kg) static load applied to the hose tail end of the assembly for a minimum of 30 seconds.

The collars provide additional support to vulnerable threaded sections of the assembly while maintaining a compact installation footprint without requiring additional bolts or hull fasteners.

Key Features:

• Designed for TruDesign Skin Fittings and Ball Valves
• Supports ABYC H-27 500 lb static load compliance
• Composite corrosion-resistant construction
• Compact installation footprint
• No additional hull fasteners required
• Can be retrofitted to existing TruDesign assemblies
• Provides shrouded thread protection
• Designed for marine plumbing systems

Compliance Information:

• Independently verified by IMANNA Laboratory Inc.
• 1″ Through Hull, Ball Valve, and Tail assemblies comply with ABYC 500 lb load test only when used with TruDesign ABYC Collar
• 1 1/4″, 1 1/2″, and 2″ Skin Fittings meet H-27 requirements without a large collar installed
