DescriptionHammar H20 Hydrostatic Release Unit for Small LiferaftsThe Hammar H20 is a reliable, maintenance-free hydrostatic release system designed for small rafts. It features a durable double-looped white rope line, an automatic release mechanism, and a Red Weak Link with a green lower thimble (breaking strength: 1.2 ± 0.4 kN).Secure installation is simple:The strong white rope is fastened to the vessel’s deck or raft cradle, and the liferaft lashing is connected via a slip hook.Automatic Release for Maximum SafetyIn the event of a sinking, water pressure at approximately 4 metres depth activates the internal cutting mechanism. A sharp blade cuts the strong rope, allowing the liferaft to float free. As the vessel continues to descend, the raft’s painter line becomes taut, triggering automatic inflation.The Red Weak Link then breaks as designed, ensuring the liferaft can fully separate and remain available for survivors to board.Reliable Performance – 2-Year Service LifeThe Hammar H20 offers dependable operation with a 2-year lifespan, providing confidence and safety at sea with no need for regular maintenance.
