Features and Benefits
▪ Used in the majority of High School Swimming pools
▪ This Board is tapered from the fulcrum area to the diving tip, and is tapered from the fulcrum area to the anchor end. This is what distinguishes this particular model from the basic Duraflex model.
▪ The double-taper allows allows the whole board to arc while flexing, giving it approximately 15% more lift than the 16' Duraflex.
The 16' Maxiflex diving board is often the choice for High School pools because it has the same amount of "lift" as the Maxiflex B model, so it is good for diving instruction. However, if your high school has diving competition with other high schools, check first with diving coaches in your league; the Maxiflex B may be necessary for that competition.
 The 16' Maxiflex is basically a one piece ribbed extrusion of aluminum alloy 6070-T6, heat treated for a yield strength of 50,000 psi. It has a torsion-box extrusion, an anchor angle, and tip end cap riveted to the basic section. It is tapered from the fulcrum area to the diving tip, and it is tapered from the fulcrum area to the anchor end.
This is what distinguishes it from the Duraflex model. The double-taper allows the whole board to arc while flexing, giving it approximately 15% more lift than the 16' Duraflex. The anchor bolts are reinforced underneath by U shaped aluminum pieces: maxi-bolting extrusions.
Note: another way to determine if you have a Duraflex or Maxiflex is by the serial number on the Duraflex International tag between the carriage bolts: a serial number beginning D990--- is a Duraflex made in 1999, whereas a serial number M990--- is a Maxiflex made in 1999.
The board is coated in aqua colored thermal curing epoxy resin. The top surface is finished with a laminate of flint silica and alumina, between coats of epoxy to effect a non-slip surface. The diving board is to be bolted to the diving board stand by 2 carriage bolts 5/8" dia. If the stand is a Durafirm stand, use our bronze board bolts, part #: SF122 5/8" x 3 _". The underside ribs of the board are protected from direct contact with our metal fulcrum by rubber channels (8) attached to the board with epoxy adhesive.
Keep in mind that the pool where this board will be installed must have diving-well dimensions conforming to U.S. Diving/FINA minimums (or better) regarding depths of water underneath and out ahead of the diving board. Also the pool must meet the U.S. Diving minimums for distance between board and side of pool, distance between 2 boards, and height clearance in indoor pools.
