Deck Fitting Notes and General Information

The information and sketches shown in this website are proprietary to NABRICO. Duplication, reproduction, or manufacture from data contained herein is strictly prohibited.


All deck fittings and winches must be sized correctly, properly located, and properly installed to serve their intended functions. It is the owner/operator's responsibility to adhere to the aforementioned.

 

Improper installation can result in failure of a casting or winch. Deck fittings which have failed due to overloads, or have been dislodged from foundations, or have fractures and/or deformations should be repaired or replaced immediately.

 

In particular, loads to bitts must be applied to the posts between the base and the midpoint in a horizontal or downward direction. Properly placed chocks will prevent line chafing. Kevels should be installed horizontally on foundation bases of sufficient size. Forces to Kevels must be directed to the trunk and not the horns. Horns will fail when exposed to direct loads.

 

Deck fittings are not designed for use to lift the vessel. Misapplication or misuse of a deck fitting is not the responsibility of the supplier or NABRICO.

 

All dimensions shown in this catalog are in feet and inches. Weights are in English pounds. Capacities are in short tons of 2000 pounds. Please note that dimensions and weights are nominal and are subject to standard variations.

Deck Fitting Warranties

NABRICO warrants that all NABRICO products shall be free from defects in material and workmanship during the Warranty Period (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that NABRICO’s warranty hereunder shall not apply to any equipment, material, or components that are not manufactured by NABRICO, and NABRICO makes no express or implied warranty that any such equipment, material, or components are free from manufacturer or supplier defects. To the extent permitted, NABRICO agrees to transfer and assign to a Buyer or End User any warranties extended by the manufacturer or supplier of such equipment, material or components. NABRICO shall have no obligation or responsibility to repair or replace any defective NABRICO product if a notice of defect is not reported in writing to NABRICO within 180 days from the date of shipment of any NABRICO Winch products and 90 days from the date of shipment of any other NABRICO products (such 180 day and 90 day periods are hereinafter referred to as “Warranty Period”).


In the event Buyer or any End User timely notifies NABRICO in writing of any claim of defect covered by this warranty, NABRICO shall correct the nonconforming work by making repairs or replacements, at NABRICO’s option and at NABRICO’s expense, if NABRICO’s examination shall disclose to its satisfaction that all or a portion of the NABRICO Product is defective and that such defect is warranted hereunder. However, this warranty is conditional upon compliance by the Buyer or End User with loading, use, and handling in accordance with good commercial practices of the trade, and NABRICO shall not be responsible for defects caused by misloading, overheating, improper cleaning, misapplication, physical abuse, or from normal wear and tear. This warranty is void where any NABRICO product has been altered or repaired by anyone other than NABRICO or its authorized agent.
