FAQs

What is the primary use for this connecting link?

This split connecting link is primarily designed for repairing or extending stainless steel chain.

What material is the connecting link made from?

It is made from high-quality 316-grade stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance.

What is the load capacity of this link?

The breaking load for this 12MM link is 2835KG.

Can I use this link with any type of chain?

It is best suited for stainless steel chains where the link size is compatible with the 12MM diameter and 38MM x 19MM inside measurements.

How do I install the connecting link?

You need to open the split link, insert the chain ends, and then firmly press the link closed using tools like pliers.

Is this link suitable for marine environments?

Yes, due to its 316-grade stainless steel construction, it is highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for marine applications.

What are the inside dimensions of the link?

The inside measurements are approximately 38MM in length and 19MM in width.

Troubleshooting

Split link difficult to close

Ensure the chain ends are properly seated within the link and try using a more robust tool for leverage. Check that no debris is obstructing the closing mechanism.

Link feels loose after closure

Re-open the link and ensure both ends are fully engaged and pressed together until a solid, round shape is achieved. A slight tap with a hammer (on a non-critical surface) might help seat the ends fully.

Rust or discoloration on the link

While rare for 316 stainless steel, minor discoloration can sometimes occur in highly aggressive environments. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. For persistent issues, consult a specialist if the link's integrity is compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 316-grade stainless steel construction.
  • High breaking load for secure connections.
  • Corrosion-resistant, suitable for outdoor and marine use.
  • Easy to install for chain repair and extension.
  • Reliable brand reputation.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for chain repair, not general coupling.
  • 12mm size may be too large for very fine chains.
  • Requires basic tools for secure closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the ends of the stainless steel chain you wish to connect or extend.
  2. Open the split link by carefully prying apart the two ends of the connecting link.
  3. Insert one end of the chain into one side of the split link and the other end of the chain into the opposing side.
  4. Align the ends of the split link and use pliers or a suitable tool to press them firmly together until the link is securely closed. Ensure both ends are fully engaged and the link is round.

Compatibility:

  • This connecting link is designed for use with stainless steel chain of a compatible link size.
  • It is ideal for repairing or extending chains with a link diameter that fits within the 12MM specifications.
  • Not intended for use with synthetic ropes or other non-chain materials.

Care:

  • While 316-grade stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, periodic cleaning with a soft cloth can maintain its appearance.
  • Inspect the link regularly for any signs of damage or wear, especially after heavy use.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
