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.
