FAQs

What is the primary use of this quick link?

This quick link is primarily designed for securely connecting two items together, such as chains, ropes, or hardware attachments. It is particularly useful in applications like marine use, camping, and military contexts.

Is this quick link suitable for climbing or safety-critical applications?

No, this quick link is not rated or designed for life-safety applications such as climbing or overhead lifting. It is intended for general-purpose connections and securing items.

How do I maintain the galvanized finish?

To maintain the galvanized finish, it is recommended to clean the quick link with fresh water after use, especially in saltwater environments, and dry it thoroughly. Periodically, a light coating of lubricant can help protect the metal.

What are the dimensions of the 10MM quick link?

The 10MM quick link has the following approximate dimensions: A = 21 MM, B = 85 MM, C = 105 MM, D = 10 MM, E = 38 MM, F = 20 MM.

Can this quick link be used with rope?

Yes, it can be used with rope provided the rope and any end fittings can pass through the gate opening. Ensure the rope is properly secured after passing through the quick link.

What does 'Long Series' mean for this quick link?

'Long Series' indicates that the quick link has an extended design, providing more reach and potentially easier handling compared to standard, shorter quick links.

Troubleshooting

Screw gate is stiff or difficult to turn

Clean the threads of any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or marine grease) to the threads and work the gate back and forth to distribute.

Quick link does not close securely

Ensure the gate is fully aligned with the body and the screw sleeve is tightened as much as possible. Check for any obstructions preventing a full closure.

Visible signs of corrosion or rust

Clean the quick link thoroughly with fresh water and a soft brush. Dry completely. Apply a suitable protectant or lubricant to the surface and threads. Consider replacing if corrosion is severe and compromises strength.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick to open and close.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection.
  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Suitable for a variety of applications, including marine and outdoor activities.
  • Long series design offers greater ease of use.

Cons

  • Galvanised finish may not be suitable for extreme, constant saltwater exposure without regular maintenance.
  • Not designed for load-bearing safety applications (e.g., climbing).
  • Requires manual operation, not automatic.
  • Dimensions are fixed, requiring careful selection for specific use cases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply open the screw-gate mechanism by turning the threaded sleeve until the opening is wide enough to pass through the desired attachment points. Insert the ends of the items you wish to connect, then close the gate by aligning it with the main body and tightening the screw sleeve until secure. Ensure the sleeve is fully tightened for maximum security.

Compatibility: This quick link is compatible with chains, ropes, and other hardware that can pass through its gate opening. It is ideal for connecting items but should not be used as a primary safety device for critical load-bearing applications like climbing or lifting heavy objects where failure could cause injury.

Care: To maintain the longevity and function of the quick link, clean it regularly with fresh water, especially after exposure to saltwater or dirt. Dry thoroughly. Periodically check the screw-gate mechanism for smooth operation and ensure the threads are free from debris. A light application of a suitable lubricant can be applied to the threads if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
