**Hydrostatic Release Unit**  
  
McMurdo Hydrostatic Release for Catagory 1 EPIRB 'BreaktHRU' - the Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) Kit from McMurdo. Smaller that other HRUs currently available, BreaktHRU is unique in its use of a small pyrotechnic charge, which is used to enable EPIRBs to automatically float free.  
  
**Features:**  

-   Compact  
    
-   Classified non-hazardous  
    
-   Complies with the latest SOLAS and IMO resolutions  
    
-   Fits the footprint of existing HRUs  
    
-   Service life of two years

  
  
Using technology developed exclusively by McMurdo, the pyrotechnic charge is used to activate the HRU when it is submerged in water < 13 feet. Once activated the EPIRB is automatically released - it's as simple as that!
