Hydrostatic Release Unit

McMurdo Hydrostatic Release for Catagory 1 EPIRB ‘BreaktHRU’ – the Hydrostatic Release Unit (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.

Features:

• Compact
  
• Classified non-hazardous
  
• Complies with the latest SOLAS and IMO resolutions
  
• Fits the footprint of existing HRUs
  
• 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 EPIRB is automatically released – it's as simple as that!
