This hydrostatic release unit for liferafts is designed for the automatic release of a liferaft if the vessel sinks and the mounted raft is submerged along with the vessel.
The release unit is hydrostatically activated at a water depth of 1.5–4 meters. Upon activation, the liferaft is released from its cradle or mounting location, after which the raft's painter line initiates the inflation sequence.
The unit is used for liferafts mounted in cradles or containers where automatic release upon submersion is required. The product complies with SOLAS regulations.
No specific liferaft brand, person capacity, or cradle model is specified. Therefore, please check the liferaft's installation requirements and mechanical compatibility before installation.
