HYDROSTATIC RELEASE UNITS

H2O HYDROSTATIC RELEASE UNIT FOR LIFERAFT

The H20 is the best-selling hydrostatic release unit in the world and it has been saving lives on the oceans for more than 25 years. Its safe, reliable and simple design, has earned it more worldwide approvals than any other unit.

The construction of glass fibre reinforced nylon prevents the unit from corroding, which means that no annual service, maintenance or spare parts are needed. You simply install a new one every two years and dispose of the old one. With the environment in mind, the old unit is 97% recyclable. Thanks to simple handling procedures, storage costs are also kept to a minimum. The unit enables easier, quicker, trouble-free installation and thereby considerably reducing your customers’ downtime ashore.

HYDROFIX HYDROSTATIC RELEASE UNIT FOR EPIRB

The HydroFix Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) is a patented rod system that allows a beacon to be quickly and reliably released from a Category I bracket when submerged in water between 1.5-4 meters (4.9-13.1 feet).

H2O HYDROSTATIC RELEASE UNIT FOR EPIRB

This unit is used by 50% of the world’s EPIRB manufacturers. Should the vessel sink, the Hammar H20, which is activated by increasing water pressure, automatically release the EPIRB. On reaching the surface the EPIRB starts to emit a signal of identification and position to a satellite. Instead of the rope sling a specially developed plastic bolt secures the radio beacon and will be cut when the unit is activated.
No annual service or spare parts are needed.
