Internal Connecting Pin

The standard connecting pin for joining modules within the pontoon area.

The pin is blow-moulded with a robust thread. Using a 'T'-bar tool, pins are screwed in to nuts which are fixed to the corner tabs of the float modules and tightly join modules together. When fixed in position the top surface of the pin becomes part of the pontoon deck and is textured to give increased grip.

Internal Connecting Pin - Double Length

A longer version of the internal connecting pin.

Used when more than one layer of modules is needed, for pontoons and platforms requiring increased buoyancy or where steps are incorporated.

Long connecting pins are threaded and work in exactly the same way as the shorter standard internal connecting pin.

External Connecting Pin

The external connecting pin is used to join modules together around the perimeter of pontoons.

The pin is moulded with a robust thread and is tightened with a 'T'-bar tool in to a nut, which is fixed to the coner tabs of the float modules.

Sliding Nut

The sliding nut fits to the corner tabs of the modules and is used to receive both the internal and external connecting pins to join modules together and create a pontoon structure.

By securing the sliding nuts in place on the corner tabs, pontoons can always be assembled from above and reaching underneath the modules to hold nuts in place is completely eliminated.

Standard Nut

A basic threaded nut without the facility to side on to tabs.

Typically used as a locking nut when long connecting pins are used to join layers of modules together to form steps.

Spacer Disc

Aqua-dock modules have moulded tabs at each corner which are set at different heights. These tabs overlap in a sequence to ensure a flat pontoon top surface.

In some circumstances where there are less than four modules together (at pontoon edges and internal corners) a spacer disc is used to replace the absent corner tab and ensure that a level pontoon surface is maintained.
