Stainless Steel Advantages:
The marine-grade stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance for applications exposed to moisture, salt air, and harsh weather conditions. Unlike zinc-plated or galvanized hardware that can corrode over time, stainless steel maintains its strength and appearance even in coastal and marine environments. The smooth, polished finish reduces friction and wear on rope and webbing, extending the service life of your rigging system.
Applications:
Ideal for professional climbing systems, arborist rigging, industrial safety applications, marine rigging, sailboat hardware, anchor connections, chain terminations, rope-to-hardware connections, and semi-permanent rigging installations. Perfect for creating connection points in climbing anchors, tree rigging systems, fall protection equipment, boat rigging, dock lines, and industrial tie-down systems. Commonly used in applications where the connection will remain in place for extended periods but may need occasional removal for inspection or reconfiguration.
Important Notes:
- Designed for applications that do not require frequent removal
- Ensure threaded sleeve is fully tightened before use
- Inspect regularly for wear, corrosion, or damage
- Follow manufacturer's guidelines for proper installation and use
- Verify compatibility with connected hardware and rope/cable diameter
- Not for use in life-critical applications unless specifically rated and certified
