The SecureFix Direct Galvanised Straining Rigging Screw Eye Jaw is an essential tool for engineers, construction professionals, and DIY enthusiasts who need to apply precise tension to wire rope or cable systems. Featuring a durable galvanised finish that resists corrosion, this rigging screw is ideal for outdoor, marine, and caravan tethering applications. While its robust design provides excellent structural integrity, users must ensure they match the 20mm sizing accurately to their existing load-bearing requirements and cable diameter to maintain safety standards.

Yes, the galvanised coating is designed to provide protection against corrosion in marine environments, though regular inspection is recommended.
When fully retracted, the length is approximately 383mm (Dimension C).
Rigging screws should be selected based on the specific load-bearing requirements of your project. Ensure the weight load does not exceed the safe working load limit for a 20mm rigging screw.
The rigging screw is designed for tensioning; please verify your specific shipment contents for accessories like lock nuts, as they are often sold separately or integrated into the main body.
For safety-critical applications, inspect the hardware before every use or at least once a month for stationary setups to ensure no parts have loosened.
Clean the threads of any grit or rust and apply a penetrating lubricant or grease to the internal mechanism.
Use a wire brush to remove the surface oxidation and apply a cold-galvanising spray to restore the protective layer.
Ensure the jaw pin is fully tightened and, for high-vibration environments, use a safety wire to prevent the pin from unscrewing.
To set up, first attach the eye end to your fixed anchor point and the jaw end to the wire rope terminal. Rotate the main body of the rigging screw to tighten the system. Ensure all pins on the jaw are fully secured and cotter pins or safety wire are used if the application is subject to heavy vibration. Compatibility is based on the 20mm specification; always confirm your cable fittings match this size. To care for the product, wipe away dirt and debris periodically. If the screw becomes difficult to turn, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the threads to ensure smooth operation.
