- Description
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.FEATURESManufactured from a glass reinforced nylon composite - High strength and light weightLong tail feature - The use of 2 hose clamps is recommended for secure hose fittingImmune to corrosion and electrolysis - Long life with no concernsChemical resistant - Impervious to diesel, petrol and antifouling paintsUV resistant - These fittings will not break down with ultraviolet light or discolour from the sunHigh quality surface finish - Will not discolour with green film as similar bronze fittings doLarge operating temperature range - Suitable for all marine environments, from -40°C to +110°C
QUESTIONFitting sanitary hose to hose tailsANSWERUse 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.
QUESTIONCan I run Petrol or Diesel through TruDesign fittings ?ANSWERYES and NoTruDesign 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.
