Pear-Shaped Threaded Connecting Links—Not for Lifting
The narrow end restricts the movement of rope and chain, and the wide end allows room to attach multiple connectors. These links thread closed by hand or with a wrench, so they’re also known as quick links. Use them to secure loads with ropes or chains. The nut must completely cover the threads for these links to handle their maximum capacity. All can be reused.
Links with an eyelet have an even narrower end for keeping rope in place. Use this end for permanent connections.
Zinc-plated steel links are mildly corrosion resistant.
316 stainless steel links have excellent resistance to salt water and chemicals.
