HAWSE PIPE - Stainless Steel - SH006-004-27093
A Hawse Pipe (Dual Wheel Guide Hole) is a crucial fitting installed on a ship's deck (usually at the bow or stern) that combines the functions of a Hawse Pipe (deck seal) with a Roller Fairlead (dynamic rope leader).
MAIN FUNCTIONS OF HAWSE PIPE - Stainless Steel
- Dynamic Chain/Rope Guide: Serves as a closed guideway for anchor chain or mooring lines from the chain locker or below-deck space to the outside of the ship's hull.
- Dual Wheel Friction Reduction: Equipped with two internal, moving vertical rollers, the rope or chain rubs on the wheels, not the static body of the Hawse Pipe. This drastically reduces abrasion and simplifies towing/lowering operations.
- Heavy-Duty Deck Seal: The pipe's solid design seals the hole in the deck, preventing seawater (especially spray water) from entering the space below, maintaining the ship's integrity.
- Heavy-Duty Applications: The robust structure and large dimensions (Length A=345mm) indicate this Hawse Pipe is designed for large vessels using anchor chains or mooring lines with very thick diameters.
KEY HAWSE PIPE SPECIFICATIONS - Stainless Steel
- Internal Pipe Length (C): Up to 270mm, providing a large contact area for the chain/rope.
- Pipe Height (D): Up to 93mm, suitable for installation on very thick decks.
- Material: Marine Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316) for unmatched corrosion resistance, with rollers made of strong polymer or metal.
