Black aluminum counter plate

The Tecline Black Aluminum Backplate (Single Tank Aluminum Adapter) is a flat, ultralight structural component specifically designed for mounting and perfectly stabilizing a single tank on modular buoyancy control systems (wing and backplate).

Positioned on the back of the system, this plate securely locks the tank bands, completely eliminating tank roll and lateral oscillation during dives. This version is made of aluminum with a refined black anodized finish, ideal for those seeking a total black look coordinated with their equipment, combining a flat and essential profile with a featherlight weight ideal for travel.

Key Features and Technical Specifications:

• Flat and Hydrodynamic Profile: Optimizes the diver's center of gravity by minimizing bulk and thickness between the tank and backplate, greatly benefiting stable trim.
• 3mm Aluminum Construction: Made of high-quality 3mm thick aluminum, laser-cut to offer excellent structural strength.
• Protective Black Anodization: The protective black coating not only provides an attractive aesthetic but also ensures complete protection against scratches and corrosion in saltwater.
• Universal Standard Dimensions: With its measurements of 7 x 36 cm, it perfectly fits the backplate and strap slots of most technical BCDs on the market.
• Ultralight Weight (270g): With a total weight of only 270 grams (including screws), it is the choice for travel configurations or lightweight backplates.
• Hardware Kit Included: Comes ready for assembly, complete with screws, washers, and practical stainless steel "wing nuts" for quick, tool-free manual tightening.

The Tecline Black Aluminum Short Backplate (Single Tank Aluminum Adapter - Short) is the compact, ultralight, and aesthetically pleasing version of the Tecline stabilization plate, designed for mounting a single tank on back-inflate systems (wing and plate). This variant features a reduced length (7 x 30.5 cm), specifically designed for those using shorter tanks (such as classic 10 or 12-liter short tanks) or for shorter divers who wish to optimize the geometry of their equipment.

Characterized by a black anodized finish, it ensures a rigid coupling of the tank bands, eliminating lateral roll, offering maximum lightness for a low-profile, minimalist, and style-coordinated configuration.

Key Features and Technical Specifications:

• Short and Compact Design: With its optimized dimensions of 7 x 30.5 cm, it reduces vertical bulk on the backplate, ideal for optimizing space in luggage or on short tanks.
• Premium Construction and Finish: 3mm thick aluminum with high-resistance black anodization against wear, the marine environment, and strap abrasion.
• Record Weight (225g): With a total weight of just 225 grams (including screws), it represents the ultimate solution for traveling divers who want to shed every gram from their luggage without sacrificing style.
• Complete Hardware Kit Included: Supplied ready for use with all necessary fasteners (screws, washers, and stainless steel wing nuts) for instant and secure manual assembly.

Target Users (for both versions):

Tecline black aluminum backplates are essential accessories for advanced recreational, technical, and traveling divers who are looking for a reliable technical solution but prioritize lightness and aesthetics in their system. The choice of black aluminum is optimal for those who primarily dive in warm waters with wetsuits, where fixed back weighting is not needed, ensuring a unique look and exceptional durability over time.
