McMurdo Hydrostatic Release Unit

Hydrostatic Release Unit

McMurdo Hydrostatic Release for Catagory 1 EPIRB 'BreaktHRU' - the Hydrostatic Release Unit (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.

Features:

• Compact
• Classified non-hazardous
• Complies with the latest SOLAS and IMO resolutions
• Fits the footprint of existing HRUs
• 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 EPIRB is automatically released - it's as simple as that!
