This SecureFix Direct Long Link Chain, specifically the 16mm variant, is designed for a wide range of general-purpose applications, offering robust strength for tasks like boat mooring and anchoring. Its key benefit is its durable Grade 30 material construction. A notable caveat is its self-coloured finish, which means it has no rust protection and may arrive with surface rust, requiring user awareness for optimal longevity.

Self Colour means the chain is made of bare metal with no coating or plating for rust protection. It may arrive with or develop surface rust over time, which is normal for this finish.
Grade 30 is a standard designation for general-purpose chain material, indicating a specific level of strength and ductility suitable for many non-lifting applications.
This chain is primarily for general-purpose use like mooring and anchoring. It is not typically rated or certified for overhead lifting applications. Always check specific load ratings and intended use.
Enter the desired length in meters into the 'quantity' box during the checkout process. The chain will be cut to your specified length.
Dispatch typically takes 1-2 working days because the chain needs to be cut to your custom length before shipment.
For the 16mm chain: A (Link Inner Width) = 16mm, B (Link Outer Length) = 64mm, C (Link Outer Width) = 32mm, D (End of Link Width) = 32mm, E (End of Link Length) = 100mm.
While it can be used for boat mooring, the self-coloured finish offers no rust protection. For prolonged or critical saltwater use, consider a galvanised or stainless steel chain and maintain this chain regularly with protective coatings.
This is normal for the self-coloured finish. The surface rust does not typically affect the chain's load-bearing capacity. Clean with a wire brush and apply a protective oil if desired.
Ensure you are using hardware compatible with a 16mm chain diameter and that the hardware's opening is sufficient for the chain's link size. Check for any burrs or deformities on the chain links or hardware.
Refer to the product specifications for the working load limit (WLL) of the 16mm Grade 30 chain. Always use the chain within its rated capacity and ensure all connecting hardware has a matching or higher rating.
Setup:
This chain is typically supplied cut to your specified length. Ensure you have the appropriate tools and knowledge for connecting the chain to your desired hardware (e.g., shackles, eye bolts). Use connectors that are rated for the load capacity of the 16mm chain.
Compatibility:
This chain is compatible with standard rigging hardware, shackles, and connectors designed for 16mm chain. Ensure all connecting hardware is also rated for the intended load. It is not intended for overhead lifting applications unless specifically stated and certified for such use.
Care:
Due to its self-coloured finish, this chain has minimal rust protection. To maintain its appearance and longevity, especially in damp or corrosive environments:
