Designed and made in New Zealand, Tru-Design Reducers are moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability. Tru-Design Reducers eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. The Reducers are designed for twin hose clamps, and to not crush under high load conditions.

Large operating temperature range - Suitable for all marine environments, from -40°C to +110°C

QUESTION

Fitting sanitary hose to hose tails

ANSWER

Use a hair drier to heat up the end of the hose or immerse the end of the hose in hot water. Both these methods will soften the hose sufficiently to enable it to be pushed on. Care must be taken with the heat of the hair drier and any solvents that could ignite. Remember to always use 2 stainless steel hose clamps on all hoses that are in an under water or close to an under water position.

QUESTION

Can I run Petrol or Diesel through TruDesign fittings ?

ANSWER

YES and No

TruDesign fittings (in both black and white) are suitable for contact with petrol & diesel fuels.

NOTE: TruDesign Ball Valves, Aquavalves and Non-Return Valves should not be used in direct contact with petrol or diesel as the nitrile o-rings may swell affecting their sealing and handle-turning performance.
