All our products are made in New Zealand and

are made out of the latest high impact resistant

composite plastic materials designed to meet the

demands of the modern boating industry and

conform to rigid ISO Marine Standards.

Established in 1974, we are an ISO 9001 company

with over 35 years experience in design tooling

and manufacture of injection moulded engineering

plastics. We have over 50 staff including designers,

engineers, toolmakers and quality assurance

specialists. Tru-Design is well positioned to take

products from design concept through tooling

and into moulded production, assembly, testing

then product approval and despatch.

The Nozzle range was produced in 1978 and is

used extensively throughout the world in specialist

applications such as fire fighting, marine and

agriculture where strength, quality and reliability

are paramount.

The marine range was developed as a result of the

growing concern and regulation of untreated sewage

being discharged from marine vessels. The multi-port

diverting valve (Aquavalve®) was developed along

with associated Skin Fittings and Vented Loops to

allow commercial and recreational craft to comply

with the new regulations. The marine range has

grown significantly to include the electronic diverting

valve (Electronic Aquavalve®) and a comprehensive

Ball Valve range that includes electronic monitoring

of the Ball Valve position.

We have a continuous product development

programme with new designs being introduced

each year.

We thank our customers for their continued support

and feedback and we look forward to providing future

innovative marine fittings solutions.

Based in New Zealand, Tru-Design specialises in the design,manufacture and marketing of high quality marine valves, skin fittings, hose nozzles and associated products.

WHAT ARE COMPOSITES?Composites are created from 2 or more materials with different physical and properties combined at a macroscopic level, resulting in a better material than the constituents on their own.

Tru-Design use a number of different grades - predominately a Polyamide 6 (nylon) matrix, with Glass Fibre reinforcement, giving excellent chemical resistance, stiffness, impact strength, heat resistance, and ultimate strength - ideal for marine environments.All white grades have additives to provide increased UV resistance to ensure long life of exposed fittings.

CORROSIONThe material used in Tru-Design marine fittings do not corrode, or conduct electrical currents so do not contribute to galvanic corrosion. They are immune to stray electrical currents.

The use of composite marine fittings gives `peace of mind’ knowing that important thru hull fittings and sea-cocks are not slowly corroding away, opening up the vessel to the sea.

All metal parts suffer from corrosion to some extent, due to the electrolytic properties of sea water. Many different methods are employed to reduce the effect of corrosion in metal fittings;

• Barrier coatings e.g. paint

• Anodes

• Electrical bondingThese methods will still be needed on a vessel to protect stern gear etc, but there is no longer any need to worry about thru hull fittings and sea cocks.

WEIGHTTru-Design marine fittings are significantly lighter weight than similar metallic fittings. With the use of composites throughout vessels to improve performance, why not do the same to your plumbing?

QUALITYTru-Design marine fittings are produced from the same grade of material, from the same manufacturer every time. Can you guarantee the same when you buy metallic fittings?

With the influx of different manufacturers of fittings and the need to cut costs, it is becoming more and more difficult to ensure you are purchasing quality materials.

STRENGTHOur range of Skin Fittings and Skin Fittings with Tail are the only polymer Skin Fittings to be certified by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) in Belgium to ISO Standard 9093-2.Tru-Designs range of Ball Valves are certified by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) in Belgium to ISO Standard 9093-2

The Tru-Design Electronic Aquavalve® is designed and made in New Zealand for use in applications where remote “Push Button” diversion and control of the flow of water or effluent is desired. The Tru-Design Aquavalve® is the most versatile valve on the market today. The Tru-Design Aquavalve® is predominantly used in marine toilet applications where protection for the environment necessitates the need to control effluent discharge – in many countries this is governed by regulation. The effluent can be held in a holding tank for later discharge overboard or to a shore side facility. The Tru-Design Aquavalve® is moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability. The Tru-Design Aquavalve® is a excellent choice for modern boats as it can be integrated into a boats electronic systems, giving full control from one location.

The Electronic Aquavalve® has been designed to allow the Diverting Valve to be operated from the Control Panel with the push of a button. LED’s on the Control Panel clearly denote whether the Valve is in the “Holding Tank” or “Overboard” position.

ELECTRONIC AQUAVALVE®Model EA015 - (Patent Application No 539240)

CONTROL PANELThe control panel is used to remotely actuate the Aquavalve. The control panel can be mounted in a convenient location for easy control of the valve allowing the valve and toilet plumbing to be hidden from view.

Other control panel options available. Please contact us for details.

ELECTRONIC AQUAVALVE®SPECIFICATIONS

As per the manual Aquavalve, the Electronic Aquavalve requires the choice of fitting methods and utilises a range of tail sizes and angles to meet the demands of plumbing in confined spaces – see page 12 for full details

Please Note: This is a Diverting Valve and not a Gate Valve or Shut Off Valve. The Silicone Rotor Seal is designed to seal with low pressure therefore may not be suitable for vacuum toilets depending on the position of the valve relative to the toilet.

It is important to wire the Electronic Aquavalve® so that the valve is activated each time the boat power is turned on. On activation the electronics will quickly cycle the valve to move the seal from Port to Port. This is an important function as it keeps the seal lubricated.

AQUAVALVE®VERSATILITY

REVERSIBLE FACEPLATEThe reversible faceplate allows the user to install both the AquaValve and the AquaValve through Bulkhead in the most suitable way, then adjust the faceplate to suit the plumbing. This greatly improves ease of installation and gives tidier more efficient plumbing.

THROUGH BULKHEAD FITTINGThe Through Bulkhead version allows the plumbing and valve body to be hidden behind a wall or panel.The Aquavalve Through Bulkhead suits wall thicknesses up to 15mm. If your bulkhead is thicker than 15mm, the Extension Pack Through Bulkhead is available for walls up to 37mm.

3 WAY CONNECTORThe 3 Way Connector is an excellent choice for connecting hoses back together in marine plumbing systems. It offers the same versatility as the Aquavalve through its large range of options for connecting the plumbing. With its flanged base, mounting is easy, eliminating hoses rattling and flapping around in heavy seas.

VENTED LOOP WITH SOLENOIDWhen connected to an electric toilet intake, the Vented Loop with Solenoid seals upon energizing, allowing full fluid flow. When not energized, the siphon is broken as per the manual system (although quicker). Power Consumption (Upon energizing) – 400mA @12vDC

Our test results show a 25% drop in inlet water supply due to the Vented Loop. Not recommended for manual toilets due to the lower volume of intake water.

IMPORTANT: The Vented Loop must be mounted a minimum of 250mm above the water line and we suggest mounting as high as the installation allows.

POSITION MONITOREDBALL VALVES

Developed from the standard Ball Valves, we can now offer a Ball Valve that can be simply wired to a monitor so that it is very clear as to which valves are open and which are closed.

Other advantages are where the engine intake wired Ball Valve is wired to the ignition switch so that the intake water valve has to be open before the engine starting sequence is activated.

It can also be used in a holding tank pump out system, so that the system knows when the outlet is open to allow discharge.

Made in New Zealand for use in Marine Applications above and below the water line. They are IMCI approved to ISO standard 9093-2.

The Seacock Monitor Panel gives the operator a clear visual indication of the position of the Ball Valve - open or closed.

Available in 12volt only.
