Hammar H20 HR-0100 Hydrostatic Release Unit – Yellow (SOLAS Approved)

Ensure your liferaft is ready for deployment when it matters most with the Hammar H20 HR-0100. This SOLAS-approved hydrostatic release unit is designed for liferafts from 6 to 150 persons, making it a critical safety device for commercial and large recreational vessels.

Once submerged, this maintenance-free device automatically releases the liferaft, allowing it to float free, inflate, and become accessible to survivors. The yellow label version is fully compliant with international maritime safety standards.
