We stock a wide range of TruDesign composite marine fittings for sailing yachts, motorboats and leisure craft. Whether you’re upgrading seacocks, replacing ageing bronze fittings or fitting out a new build, TruDesign offers a durable and practical alternative to traditional metal components.
Why Choose TruDesign?
They have changed how many boat owners and marine professionals think about composite fittings. Their products are manufactured using advanced glass-reinforced polymer composites that are designed specifically for harsh marine environments.
Unlike metal fittings, composites will not corrode, dezincify or suffer from electrolysis. This makes them especially popular for use below the waterline.
All TruDesign fittings are:
- UV resistant
- Chemically resistant
- Impervious to diesel, petrol and antifouling paints
- Non-conductive and corrosion free
This makes them suitable for both saltwater and freshwater installations, and ideal for modern boats with mixed metal systems.
Composite Ball Valves You Can Trust
TruDesign composite ball valves are designed for smooth operation and long service life. This makes them ideal for use as seacocks, isolation valves and control points within onboard plumbing systems.
Precision moulded internals and robust handles ensure reliable performance, even in tight or awkward installations.
Available in a wide range of sizes, TruDesign ball valves are commonly used for:
- Seawater intakes
- Heads and holding tank systems
- Engine cooling circuits
- Bilge and washdown systems
TruDesign Skin Fittings and Through Hulls
TruDesign skin fittings and through hull fittings are designed to work seamlessly with their ball valves. Creating a complete, corrosion-free below-waterline system.
