A Load Bearing Collar will allow an assembly of a Skin Fitting - Ball Valve - Tail to withstand a 500 lb. (227 kg) load applied to the Tail (inboard end), for a minimum of 30 seconds - complying with North American ABYC H-27 standards. Compliance to this standard is mandatory for all vessels sold into the United States. These are available in three sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAward-winning DAME Category Winner 2015 - Marina Equipment, Boatyard Equipment, and Boat Construction Tools \u0026amp; Materials - Marine Equipment Tradeshow (METS) 2015, HISWA ‘Product of the Year’ Nominee 2016 - HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABYC H-27 compliance for 1\/2”, 3\/4”, 1”, 1 1\/4”, 1 1\/4”, \u0026amp; 2” size assemblies - Strength and peace-of-mind.

This should also apply if installed in a position where there is excessive curvature on the hull interior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe thread length of a Skin Fitting can be shortened by cutting with a hacksaw or similar tool. Measure the remaining thread length from the top of the Skin Fitting Nut as pictured in the table’s right-hand column and ensure the thread length after cutting falls between the min. and MAX values. Remove any ragged internal edges with a small file.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the ‘Optimal’ hull thickness, there will be full thread engagement between the Skin Fitting and Ball Valve. Reducing the Skin Fitting’s thread length will not be required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf hull thickness exceeds the ‘MAX.’ value listed, there will be insufficient thread engagement between the Skin Fitting and Ball Valve in order to achieve ABYC H-27 compliance.
