HAWSE PIPE - Stainless Steel - SH006-005-16095
A Hawse Pipe (Triangular Guide Hole) is a permanent deck fitting used to guide anchor chain or mooring lines from the deck to the hull or vice versa. This triangular shape is often chosen for specific installations at the bow or stern that require limited space or a unique aesthetic design.
MAIN FUNCTIONS OF HAWSE PIPE - Stainless Steel
- Chain/Rope Guide: Hawse Pipe guides anchor chain (anchor rod) or mooring lines from the chain locker (below deck storage space) to the outside of the vessel.
- Deck Sealing (Waterproofing): Its primary function is to permanently seal holes in the deck, preventing seawater, wave spray, or rain from entering the below-deck space, which can cause structural damage and rust.
- Edge Abrasion Protection: Although not roller-coated like the Double Roller type, this triangular Hawse Pipe offers a smooth (polished) surface on the inside of the pipe, protecting the mooring lines from friction with the deck material.
- Unique Aesthetics: The triangular geometric shape provides a distinct and modern look to ship deck hardware.
HAWSE PIPE SPECIFICATIONS - Stainless Steel
- Large Dimensions: With a total length of A=268 mm and a width of B=172 mm, this Hawse Pipe is designed for vessels of significant size.
- Pipe Height (D): The 95 mm height demonstrates its ability to pass through thick decks.
- Material: Marine Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316) is assumed due to its luster and application as marine hardware that must withstand saltwater corrosion.
