The SecureFix Direct Straining Rigging Screw is designed for engineers, boat owners, and caravan enthusiasts who require a reliable method for tensioning wire rope and secure tethering. Featuring a durable jaw-to-jaw configuration, this component excels in construction and marine environments where structural integrity is paramount. While it offers high-strength performance, users must ensure the 6mm diameter matches their specific load-bearing requirements to avoid over-tensioning or hardware failure.

No, this rigging screw is intended for tensioning and tethering applications and should not be used for overhead lifting.
The jaw opening (dimension D) is 5.7mm, allowing for compatible pins or eyelets to pass through.
If used outdoors or in marine environments, inspect and lubricate the threads every 6 to 12 months to prevent seizing.
Yes, it is designed for marine use, but regular cleaning and lubrication are required to prevent corrosion.
Apply a high-quality lubricant to the threads and ensure there is no salt buildup or corrosion obstructing the movement.
Verify the anchor point diameter is at least 5.7mm and not obstructed by paint or debris.
To install, unscrew the jaws to their maximum length, attach each end to your respective anchor points, and rotate the center body to increase tension. Ensure your wire rope thimbles and shackles are compatible with the 5.7mm jaw opening (dimension D). For maintenance, inspect the threads periodically for debris or signs of corrosion. Lubricate the threads with a marine-grade grease annually to prevent seizing, especially if the device is exposed to constant moisture or salt spray. Always verify that the pins are fully secured with their locking mechanisms before applying full tension.
