Polyform A7 Buoys

Similar in style to our other A-Series buoys, A-7 is almost 20% larger than the A-6 in both diameter and buoyancy. A-7 is is the largest vinyl inflatable buoy for commercial applications made in the United States. New design features of this product include a redesigned rope hold and new “dual valve” inflation/deflation system.

The redesigned elongated and slimmer rope hold features larger ribs for added strength in the most critical area of the buoy and an eye that will now accept a standard size shackle.

Another innovative Polyform U.S. feature will be the “dual valve” inflation/deflation system. Each of these buoys will now have two valves on them, located on opposite sides of the rope hold in the blue top. These products will have the normal Polyform inflation valve and white screw with the word “AIR IN” molded next to it for easy inflation and a blue colored valve with a white screw with the words “AIR OUT” molded into the buoy for easy deflation and storage.

Below is a chart showing the specifications for this buoy. The market for buoy would be predominantly offshore commercial fishing, oil and gas exploration, and laying of transoceanic communications cable as well as a fender for really big ships.
