FAQs

What is the breaking load of this anchor connector?

The SecureFix Direct Double Swivel Anchor Connector has a breaking load of 1900KG.

What size anchor chain is this connector designed for?

This connector is designed for anchor chains measuring between 6MM and 8MM in diameter.

What material is the connector made from?

It is crafted from 316 Grade Stainless Steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion in marine environments.

Will this connector prevent my anchor chain from twisting?

Yes, the double joint swivel design allows for 360-degree rotation, effectively preventing twists and kinks in the anchor chain.

How often should I inspect the connector?

It is recommended to inspect the connector regularly, especially before and after each use, and periodically check for free movement and signs of wear or corrosion.

Can I use this connector for applications other than anchor chains?

While primarily designed for anchor chains, it can be used in other marine applications requiring a strong, swiveling connection, provided the size and load ratings are compatible with the application.

How should I clean the connector?

After use, rinse the connector thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt and debris. For maintenance, a marine-grade stainless steel cleaner can be used, followed by a fresh water rinse.

Troubleshooting

Swivel seems stiff or doesn't rotate freely.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt and debris. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant to the swivel joint.

Visible rust or discoloration on the stainless steel.

This may indicate exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with dissimilar metals. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner and fresh water. Inspect for deep pitting, which may require replacement if significant.

Connector does not seem to fit the anchor chain.

Verify that your anchor chain is within the specified 6-8MM diameter range. This connector is not compatible with chains outside this size.

Connector shows signs of wear or damage after use.

Immediately cease use and inspect the connector for any structural compromise. Replace the connector if any cracks, significant deformation, or deep corrosion are present to ensure safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to 316-grade stainless steel.
  • Prevents anchor chain twisting, leading to smoother deployment and retrieval.
  • High breaking load provides a strong and secure connection.
  • Durable construction suitable for harsh marine conditions.
  • Designed for easy integration into existing anchor systems.

Cons

  • Limited to 6-8MM anchor chain sizes; not universally compatible.
  • Requires periodic inspection and maintenance like any marine hardware.
  • Higher initial cost compared to non-stainless steel alternatives (implied by material).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect the connector and your anchor chain for any damage or debris.
  2. Connect one end of the swivel to your anchor chain, ensuring the chain links fit securely within the connector's designated size (6-8MM).
  3. Connect the other end of the swivel to your anchor or anchor retrieval system (e.g., swivel eye of the anchor shank).
  4. Ensure all connections are properly seated and secured before use.

Compatibility:

  • Chain Size: This connector is specifically designed for anchor chains measuring 6-8MM in diameter.
  • Material: While primarily designed for anchor chains, it can be used in other marine applications where a strong, swiveling connection is required, provided the load and size requirements are met.
  • Limitations: Do not exceed the 1900KG breaking load.

Care:

  • Rinsing: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the connector thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt residue.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the swivel mechanism for free movement and check the stainless steel body for any signs of corrosion or damage.
  • Lubrication: While 316-grade stainless steel is highly resistant, occasional light lubrication of the swivel joint with a marine-grade lubricant can help maintain smooth operation, especially if used infrequently.
