It accepts every <strong>AS Raymond \/ Ressorts SPEC<\/strong> gas strut equipped with a <strong>10 mm ball socket<\/strong>, and secures it to the hull, a deck, a hatch frame or a piece of furniture with two screws (not supplied).<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a round flange bracket, the EFBR12S has an <strong>angle (L-shaped) design<\/strong>. The ball stud is carried by a vertical web rising from the base plate, so its axis runs parallel to the mounting surface. This configuration is ideal when the gas spring must work alongside the surface it is fixed to: under a hatch lid, along a locker side, beneath a bench seat or at the base of an engine-room access panel.<\/p>\n<p>The base plate features two <strong>countersunk holes<\/strong> 32 mm apart. Countersunk screw heads sit flush with the plate, leaving no protrusion to catch cushions, ropes, fenders or fingers in tight spaces. Total projection to the ball stud is just 14.5 mm, keeping the assembly compact in confined <strong>marine<\/strong> compartments.<\/p>\n<p>Moisture, spray and salt air quickly attack zinc-plated hardware on board. A <strong>marine-grade stainless steel<\/strong> bracket keeps its mechanical strength and appearance season after season, both inside the cabin and on deck. The ball-joint principle lets the gas spring articulate freely through the opening arc, and the ball socket clips on and off without tools, so a worn <strong>gas strut<\/strong> can be replaced in seconds without removing the bracket. For shipyards and refit professionals, the EFBR12S is a standard part that fits many applications aboard <strong>leisure boats, motor yachts, sailing yachts and work boats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Type:<\/strong> Angle bracket with ball stud for gas springs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturer reference:<\/strong> EF-BR12S (Associated Spring \/ Ressorts SPEC)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Material:<\/strong> Marine-grade stainless steel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ball diameter:<\/strong> 10 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Projection (L):<\/strong> 14.5 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plate thickness:<\/strong> 2 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixing holes:<\/strong> 2 \u00d7 \u00d84.0 mm, countersunk<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hole centre distance:<\/strong> 32 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compatibility:<\/strong> AS Raymond \/ Ressorts SPEC gas springs with \u00d810 mm ball sockets<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixing screws:<\/strong> Not supplied<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Compatible products and mounting alternatives<\/h3>\n<h4>Compatible ball socket end fittings:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"EFBS006S ball socket end fitting\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/316l-stainless-steel-ball-socket-end-fitting-for-gas-spring-o10-mm-ball-m8-30-mm-offset-efbs006s\/\">EFBS006S<\/a> \u2013 stainless steel ball socket, \u00d810 mm ball, M8 thread, 30 mm offset.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"EFBS002S ball socket end fitting\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/stainless-steel-ball-socket-end-fitting-for-gas-spring-o10-mm-ball-m6-efbs002s-efbs002s\/\">EFBS002S<\/a> \u2013 stainless steel ball socket, \u00d810 mm ball, M6 thread.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"EFBS004P ball socket end fitting\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/black-plastic-ball-socket-end-fitting-for-gas-spring-o10-mm-ball-m6-efbs004p\/\">EFBS004P<\/a> \u2013 black plastic ball socket, \u00d810 mm ball, M6 thread.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Compatible gas springs (examples):<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Marine gas spring 081650\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/marine-gas-spring-081650\/\">Marine gas spring \u2013 081650<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Corrosion-resistant gas spring 100083\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/corrosion-resistant-gas-spring-100083\/\">Corrosion-resistant gas spring \u2013 100083<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Corrosion-resistant gas spring 100100\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/corrosion-resistant-gas-spring-plastic-ball-bearing-end-caps-100100\/\">Corrosion-resistant gas spring \u2013 100100<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Mounting alternatives (\u00d810 mm ball), depending on your mounting configuration:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>EFBR13S<\/strong> \u2013 stainless steel round flange bracket, \u00d810 mm ball, 3 \u00d7 \u00d84.0 mm fixing holes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EFBR07S<\/strong> \u2013 stainless steel bracket, \u00d810 mm ball, \u00d85.1 mm fixing holes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EFBR02S<\/strong> \u2013 stainless steel bracket, \u00d810 mm ball, \u00d85.1 mm fixing holes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Installation \/ Maintenance<\/h3>\n<h4>Installation:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Mark the two holes (32 mm centre distance) using the bracket as a template.<\/li>\n<li>Fasten the <strong>EFBR12S<\/strong> to a rigid support with countersunk stainless steel screws (A4 recommended) suited to \u00d84.0 mm holes.

Its <strong>angle design<\/strong>, countersunk holes and marine-grade stainless steel make it a clean, durable solution for <strong>nautical<\/strong> use. Before ordering, check that your gas strut uses a 10 mm ball socket, such as the EFBS006S, EFBS002S or EFBS004P, and that the support is stiff enough for the spring force. If the ball must instead project straight out from a bulkhead, the round-flange EFBR13S is the better option; the EFBR07S and EFBR02S offer other fixing patterns with the same \u00d810 mm ball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-class=\"product-pros_cons product-good-to-know\">\n<h3>Good to Know<\/h3>\n<ul data-class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n<li>Sold without screws \u2013 plan for countersunk stainless steel fasteners matching \u00d84.0 mm holes.<\/li>\n<li>One bracket per gas spring end: order two if both ends require a ball stud.<\/li>\n<li>Works with our \u00d810 mm ball sockets <a title=\"EFBS006S\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/316l-stainless-steel-ball-socket-end-fitting-for-gas-spring-o10-mm-ball-m8-30-mm-offset-efbs006s\/\">EFBS006S<\/a>, <a title=\"EFBS002S\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/stainless-steel-ball-socket-end-fitting-for-gas-spring-o10-mm-ball-m6-efbs002s-efbs002s\/\">EFBS002S<\/a> and <a title=\"EFBS004P\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product\/black-plastic-ball-socket-end-fitting-for-gas-spring-o10-mm-ball-m6-efbs004p\/\">EFBS004P<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Browse our full range of <a title=\"Gas springs for boats\" href=\"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/product-category\/spare-parts\/gas-springs\/\">gas springs for boats<\/a> to find the matching strut.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The <strong>EFBR12S<\/strong> is a <strong>marine-grade stainless steel angle bracket<\/strong> with a 10 mm ball stud, designed for <strong>AS Raymond \/ Ressorts SPEC gas springs<\/strong> fitted with \u00d810 mm ball socket end fittings.<\/p>\n<p>Its base plate with two <strong>countersunk fixing holes<\/strong> allows a flush, secure fastening on <strong>decks, bulkheads, hatch frames and locker bases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Built for the saline atmosphere found aboard <strong>boats and yachts<\/strong>, this <strong>gas strut mounting bracket<\/strong> provides a durable and discreet anchor point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":48990,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[1271],"product_cat":[91,93],"product_tag":[1264],"class_list":["post-48989","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-as-raymond","product_cat-gas-springs","product_cat-spare-parts","product_tag-as-raymond-2","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/48989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48989"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=48989"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=48989"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=48989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
