If the beam top is open, the connector slips down over the top; if not, remove four bolts, place on the beam, and reassemble.
What boom sizes can the WaterRiser connect to?
It is ready to connect to any boom up to 6″ flotation by 12″ skirt equipped with a Quick Latch coupler.
What materials are the couplers made from and what types are available?
Couplers are Aluminum 6061T and available in ASTM/Universal Slide or Quick Latch/Z configurations, with custom lengths and hole configurations offered.
How are the hose floats constructed and installed?
They use a urethane “sandwich” shell with closed-cell foam; halves are joined around the hose with a Quick Snap stainless gear clamp using only a screwdriver.
Do the hose floats retain buoyancy if damaged?
Yes, they maintain virtually full flotation capacities even though damaged almost to destruction.
