Trem pulpits and fittings refer to nautical components used primarily in boats.
Pulpits
The pulpit is a protective structure generally located at the bow (front) or stern (back) of a vessel. It is primarily used to provide greater safety and support during maneuvers on board, and can also serve as a support for accessories or navigation instruments .
-
Bow Pulpit : Mounted at the front of the vessel, it protects the crew from falling overboard and provides an anchor point for equipment such as the anchor hook.
-
Stern pulpit : Located at the stern (rear of the boat), it can act as a support for maneuvers and as a safety area for the rear of the boat.
Pulpits are made of stainless steel or aluminum , materials that are resistant to corrosion, and are often designed to withstand weather conditions and salt water.
Connections
In the nautical field, fittings are connecting components used to join pipes, tubes, or cables within a boat's system. They can be used for plumbing, exhaust, fuel, or electrical systems. Fittings are essential for ensuring safe and stable installation of connecting lines.
The most common types of fittings in boats include:
-
Pipe and Cable Fittings : Used to connect or adapt pipes of different sizes.
-
Fuel System Fittings : Essential for ensuring tightness and safety in the engine fuel system.
-
Plumbing and Drain Fittings : Used for connecting pipes for fresh water, drain, or cooling systems.
