Manufacturing review

Key manufacturing requirements

Confirm these points on the drawing and purchase specification.

Deck and mooring fittingsSpecify mounting geometry, fastener access and rope-contact surfaces. Mooring capacity requires separate validation.
Hinges and handlesDefine mounting direction, pivot fits, opening range and clearance, separating appearance surfaces from functional interfaces.
Mounting hardwareDimension tube seats, mounting faces and hole patterns from the mating assembly and functional datums.
Material and finishState exposure and dissimilar-metal contact; agree the exact material, surface finish and cleaning requirements.
Fit and acceptanceDefine movement, mounting and appearance checks. Load or corrosion testing needs an agreed method and acceptance criteria.
