TIX802/3/4, kit de inel Delrin

The Garmin Delrin isolation sleeve kit is designed to prevent galvanic corrosion. It creates an essential insulating barrier that prevents direct contact between the bronze bodies of underwater lights and metal or fiberglass ship hulls, thus avoiding this corrosion phenomenon.

The insulation sleeve is made of Delrin. This material is known for its durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for marine environments.

This kit is specifically compatible with Lumishore TIX802, TIX803, and TIX804 underwater lights.

Ensure the vessel's power supply is disconnected or isolated.Clean the lens and sleeve surfaces to be free of dirt and grease.Apply marine-grade adhesive (such as 3M 4200 Marine) in continuous beads around the sealing grooves of the lens and at the base of the shaft.Slide the insulation sleeve over the lens shaft until it is properly seated and flush with the rear of the lens.Place the Delrin insulation washer on the washer.Apply sealant from inside the vessel around the shaft to prevent potential contact between the shaft and the hull.

Yes, the hole size in the hull is specific to the underwater light model. For example, the TIX804 model requires a 93 mm (3" 21/32) hole. Requirements for the TIX802 and TIX803 models will be similar or specified in their documentation.

Yes, the insulation sleeve can be cut to length if necessary. It must be slightly thinner than the hull. Radial grooves are present on the sleeve to serve as a guide when cutting with a sharp knife or appropriate tool.

It is recommended to use a marine-grade adhesive, such as 3M 4200 Marine or a similar product, for assembling the insulation sleeve.

Yes, it is imperative to always ensure that the vessel's power source and battery are disconnected or isolated before proceeding with installation, for safety reasons.

Yes, before assembling the insulation sleeve, it is essential to ensure that the surfaces of the fitting and the sleeve are clean and free of dirt and grease to guarantee good adhesion of the sealant.

No, it is not recommended to use an alcohol-based solvent for cleaning, as it could have a detrimental effect on the sealing adhesive and compromise the installation.

Yes, the kit includes a Delrin shaft isolation sleeve and a Delrin isolation washer, both of which are required for complete assembly.

This kit is specifically designed and adapted for Lumishore underwater lights from the TIX802, TIX803, and TIX804 series. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and is not recommended.

The electrical and mechanical installation of this kit must be carried out by a qualified professional. If in doubt, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or an expert.

No, it is explicitly stated not to connect the light (and by extension the insulation sleeve) to the vessel's bonding system.

The Delrin sleeve acts as an insulating barrier. It prevents direct contact between the metal components of the light (often bronze) and the conductive materials of the hull, thus interrupting the electrical circuit responsible for galvanic corrosion.

The Delrin insulating washer is an integral part of the insulation system. It is installed over the existing washer during final assembly to reinforce the insulating barrier and provide complete protection against galvanic corrosion.

If an insulating sleeve is not used, the risk of galvanic corrosion between the bronze anode and the vessel's hull is significantly increased. This could lead to serious and costly damage to both components.

This is a Delrin insulation sleeve kit from Garmin, specifically designed to be compatible with Lumishore underwater lights from the TIX802, TIX803, and TIX804 series.

The insulation sleeve must be slightly thinner than the hull thickness once installed. If the sleeve is too long, it can be trimmed using the radial grooves to ensure it fits perfectly without exceeding the hull thickness.

The warranty may be voided in case of misuse, abuse, incorrect installation, negligence, installation by unqualified personnel, unauthorized repair, or modification. Failure to comply with the installation, maintenance, and usage guidelines provided in the documentation also constitutes grounds for warranty voidance.
