Marine is proud to introduce the Hi-MOD compression fittings,
the latest generation of mechanical fittings available in
the US Market. Engineered to improve on existing mechanical
fittings, the unique design of the Hi-Mod fitting achieves
this goal. The Hi-MOD fittings are co-manufactured by Hayn
Marine and Petersen Stainless in the UK.
They are unique in a number of ways. The first
is that the cone is longer than comparable fittings currently
available. This spreads the load over a longer portion of
the wire, as well as increases the compressive forces inside
the fitting. The fittings use a crown thrust ring to assure
even spacing of the wire around the cone. With the use of
this crown thrust ring, we do not need to bend the wire around
the top of the cone to achieve the proper seating depth of
the cone in the body. The combination of these features greatly
increases the fitting’s ability to handle fatigue, a
critical component of any rigging part. Without bending the
end of the wire, we are also able to greatly reduce the galling
problem inherent in these fittings. We have increased the
number of slots on the cones to allow for a more even transfer
of the load throughout the wire. The cone is also made from
stainless steel, so it is not required to replace the cone
upon inspection and/or re-use. We do not recommend the use
of sealant in the fitting.
With the Hi-MOD mechanical fittings, ease of assembly, increased fatigue resistance,
and improved design are making these the most talked about mechanical fitting
on the market today
