🔩 Brass H59 Internal Components – Built for Long-Term Performance

Apollo NZ uses Brass H59 in all key internal mechanisms of the Orion Prime System, including:

Brass Maintenance Tips:

• Every 6 Months: Apply a small amount of silicone-based spray lubricant to pivot points and louvre drive interfaces.

• Annually: During technician service, ensure brass components are inspected for signs of wear or oxidation. If needed, they can be cleaned using a non-corrosive brass-safe cleaner.

• Never use corrosive agents like bleach or acid-based cleaners on or near brass parts.

With minimal upkeep, these high-grade components ensure a long operational lifespan and unmatched reliability.
