It accepts every <strong>AS Raymond \/ Ressorts SPEC<\/strong> gas strut equipped with a <strong>10 mm ball socket<\/strong>, and secures it to a bulkhead, a hatch frame, a locker lid or a cabinet side with three screws (not supplied).<\/p>\n<p>This <strong>ball mount flange<\/strong> combines a round base plate, \u00d828 mm across and only 2 mm thick, with a \u00d810 mm ball stud. Total projection from the mounting surface is just 14.5 mm. The low profile suits the tight clearances found around hatches, engine-room access panels, bench seats and saloon furniture. The three \u00d84.0 mm holes sit on a \u00d820.9 mm pitch circle at 120\u00b0, which spreads the load evenly around the ball stud.<\/p>\n<p>On a <strong>marine<\/strong> installation, the fixing point is often what fails first. Moisture, spray and salt air quickly attack zinc-plated hardware. A <strong>marine-grade stainless steel<\/strong> bracket keeps its mechanical integrity and appearance over time, whether it is fitted inside a cockpit locker, on a sunbed lid or on an anchor-locker hatch. Its polished finish also blends in with the stainless deck hardware already found on most <strong>yachts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The ball-joint principle lets the gas spring articulate freely through the opening arc of the panel. Ball sockets clip onto the ball stud without tools, so a worn <strong>gas strut<\/strong> can be replaced in seconds without touching the bracket. For shipyards and refit professionals, the EFBR13S is a standard part that simplifies the bill of materials across 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> Round flange ball stud bracket for gas springs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturer reference:<\/strong> EF-BR13S (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>Flange diameter:<\/strong> 28 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flange thickness:<\/strong> 2 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall projection:<\/strong> 14.5 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixing holes:<\/strong> 3 \u00d7 \u00d84.0 mm, at 120\u00b0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hole pitch circle diameter:<\/strong> 20.9 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>EFBR12S<\/strong> \u2013 stainless steel bracket, \u00d810 mm ball, \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 three holes using the bracket itself as a template, on the \u00d820.9 mm pitch circle.<\/li>\n<li>Fasten the <strong>EFBR13S<\/strong> to a rigid support (bulkhead, frame, reinforcement pad).

Its marine-grade stainless steel construction makes it well suited to <strong>nautical<\/strong> use, both inside and on deck. 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 round flange does not suit your mounting surface, the EFBR12S, EFBR07S or EFBR02S brackets offer other fixing options 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 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>EFBR13S<\/strong> is a <strong>marine-grade stainless steel ball stud bracket<\/strong> with a 10 mm ball, designed to anchor <strong>AS Raymond \/ Ressorts SPEC gas springs<\/strong> fitted with \u00d810 mm ball sockets.<\/p>\n<p>Its round 2 mm flange with three \u00d84.0 mm fixing holes allows a clean, flush fastening on <strong>bulkheads, hatches, lockers and furniture panels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Built to withstand the saline atmosphere found on board <strong>boats and yachts<\/strong>, this <strong>gas strut mounting plate<\/strong> is a durable fixing point for all your lifting applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":48994,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[1271],"product_cat":[91,93],"product_tag":[1264],"class_list":["post-48993","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\/48993","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=48993"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=48993"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=48993"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nauticspares.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=48993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
