Steel backplate (7x30.5 cm 560 g)

The Tecline Short Backplate is a high-quality flat structural component, designed for mounting and perfectly stabilizing a single cylinder on modular systems (wing and backplate). Unlike standard plates, this is the short version (7 x 30.5 cm), specifically designed for those using shorter cylinders (such as 10 or 12 liter short) or for smaller divers who want to optimize space and system geometry.

Positioned on the back of the backplate, it allows the tank bands to be coupled rigidly and securely, completely eliminating lateral cylinder roll without the bulk and thickness of a traditional adapter. It is the choice for those looking for an ultra-clean, lightweight, and low-profile single tank configuration.

Key Features and Technical Specifications:

• Flat and Compact Profile: Minimizes the distance between the cylinder and the diver's back, improving the center of gravity, hydrodynamics, and trim stability.
• 3mm Stainless Steel Construction: Made of solid 3mm thick stainless steel, laser-cut and accurately finished to withstand mechanical loads and marine corrosion without deformation.
• Optimized Dimensions (Short Version): Measuring 7 x 30.5 cm, it perfectly fits the slots of the tank bands and the backplate, reducing vertical bulk.
• Hardware Kit Included: Supplied complete with all necessary stainless steel fasteners: screws, washers, and "wing nuts" for quick and precise manual assembly, without the need for tools.
• Lightweight (560g): Weighing 560 grams (including screws), it represents an excellent solution for those who travel or want to configure a lightweight system, while still maintaining a small amount of fixed ballast in an optimal position.

Target Users:

The Tecline Short Backplate is the ideal accessory for advanced recreational and technical divers who use a back inflation system (wing and backplate) and wish to dive with a short single cylinder. It ensures clean band routing, perfectly balanced trim, and maximum long-term reliability thanks to a solid structure with no perishable parts.
