BreaktHRU' — the new Hydrostatic Release (HRU) Kit
from McMurdo. Smaller that other HRUs currently available, BreaktHRU is
unique in its use of a small pyrotechnic charge, which is used to
enable EPIRBs to automatically float free.
Key Features
• Compact
• Classified non-hazardous
• Complies with the latest SOLAS and IMO resolutions
• Fits the footprint of existing HRUs
• Competitively priced
• Service life of two years
Using technology developed exclusively by McMurdo, the pyrotechnic
charge is used to activate the HRU when it is submerged in water <
13 feet. Once activated the liferaft or EPIRB is automatically released
-- it’s as simple as that!!
