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 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 deck fittings shall be free from defects in material and workmanship at the time of shipment. If, within six (6) months on all winches and within three (3) months on all products fabricated by NABRICO after date of shipment, (under normal conditions of use and service) defects shall be discovered which are not due to normal wear and tear or misuse, NABRICO shall correct such defects at its expense. NABRICO's obligation under this warranty is limited to its repair or replacement of its equipment or parts which upon examination NABRICO shall determine to have been defective. If defects occur in the equipment purchased by NABRICO from others, NABRICO's responsibility shall be limited to the guaranty or warranty extended by the manufacturer or supplier of such equipment. NABRICO shall not be liable directly or indirectly in contract, tort, or otherwise to the buyer or anyone in privity with the Buyer for any loss or damage to any vessel or its equipment, stores, cargo or other property, for any personal injury or death or for consequential damages resulting from any of the foregoing arising out of any such defect or occurring after expiration of the warranty period. This warranty is void where any deck fitting has been altered, repaired or misused by anyone other than NABRICO or its personnel.

 

The above warranty shall be in lieu of all other warranties whether express- ed or implied, written or oral, arising under common or statutory law.
