'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!! SPECIFICATIONS
