Piping: Reliably transporting fluids

Fluid management on board is crucial for safety and comfort. From freshwater supply to engine cooling, every hose is an essential link. Drawing on its experience in offshore racing, Skysat offers a carefully curated selection of marine piping, ensuring watertightness and durability in the most demanding conditions. Discover the solutions tailored to your needs, from simple fittings to complete systems.

choose the right type of pipe

The choice of hose depends on its intended use and the fluids it carries. Resistance to pressure, extreme temperatures, and corrosion are key criteria. Skysat guides you in selecting the most suitable material for your application.

• PVC pipes: Suitable for freshwater systems and drainage, they offer good chemical resistance and are easy to install. Check their compatibility with the cleaning products used.
• Rubber hoses: Recommended for engine cooling and fuel systems. Their flexibility allows them to absorb vibrations and movement. Opt for models reinforced with a textile braid.
• Silicone hoses: Excellent resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. Ideal for demanding applications such as exhaust systems.
• Stainless steel pipes: For applications requiring maximum resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Often used for exhaust systems and fuel transfers.

Fittings: ensuring a watertight seal

A high-quality fitting is essential to guarantee the watertightness and longevity of your installation. Skysat selects robust fittings compatible with various types of pipes and fluids.

• Screw fittings: Simple to install and remove, they are suitable for low-pressure systems. Ensure a watertight seal using Teflon tape or jointing compound.
• Compression fittings: Offer excellent sealing and increased pressure resistance. Require specific tools for proper installation.
• Quick-connect fittings: Easy to use and ideal for temporary connections. Check their compatibility with the fluids and pressure in your system.
• Hose clamps: Essential for securing pipes to fittings. Opt for stainless steel models for better corrosion resistance.

💡 Skysat's advice

Before any installation, create a precise diagram of your piping system. This will allow you to optimize pipe routing, anticipate fitting needs, and facilitate future maintenance. Don't hesitate to slightly oversize the pipes to minimize pressure losses.
