The McMurdo Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU), part number 82-962-001A, is designed for Category 1 EPIRBs, enabling automatic float-free deployment. This unit is suitable for businesses and organizations requiring compliance with SOLAS and IMO resolutions for maritime safety equipment.

Its compact design allows it to fit the footprint of existing HRUs, simplifying integration. Classified as non-hazardous, it offers a two-year service life, providing a compliant and practical solution for maintaining critical safety protocols on commercial vessels.
The primary function of this HRU is to automatically release a Category 1 EPIRB when submerged in water less than 13 feet, allowing the EPIRB to float free and activate.
This HRU has a service life of two years, after which it should be replaced to ensure continued compliance and functionality.
Yes, the McMurdo Hydrostatic Release Unit complies with the latest SOLAS and IMO resolutions, making it suitable for regulated maritime applications.
