FAQs

Can I use this for climbing?

No. This quick link is not rated for climbing, personal safety systems, or overhead lifting.

What is the maximum diameter rope it can accept?

The link has an opening clearance of 5mm, so ropes should be 5mm or smaller to pass through easily.

Is the zinc plating safe for saltwater?

While zinc plating offers good resistance, it is not corrosion-proof. Frequent exposure to saltwater will require regular maintenance to prevent rust.

Do I need a wrench to tighten it?

No, it is designed to be tightened by hand. Avoid using tools to overtighten, as this may damage the threads.

How do I measure the fit?

The internal width at the widest point is 30mm, while the opening gate clearance is 5mm. Ensure your attachment hardware fits these dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Threaded gate is difficult to turn

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads and work the gate back and forth to clear any debris or oxidation.

Link appears to be rusting

Clean the surface with a wire brush and apply a protective rust-inhibitor spray to maintain the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation and removal
  • Corrosion-resistant zinc plating
  • Ergonomic pear shape for better load distribution
  • Compact and lightweight for portability

Cons

  • Not rated for overhead lifting
  • Small 3.5mm diameter limits heavy-duty weight capacity
  • Threaded gate requires manual tightening to ensure security

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the link, simply unscrew the threaded nut on the gate, insert the chain or rope loop into the pear-shaped opening, and screw the nut back into place until it is hand-tight. This link is compatible with rope diameters up to approximately 5mm. To maintain the hardware, periodically wipe it with a clean cloth to remove salt, dirt, or debris. If the gate becomes stiff, a small amount of light machine oil or lubricant on the threads can help restore smooth operation. Store in a dry place when not in use to extend the life of the zinc plating.
