Any Assembly Made Using Connecting Links Should be Rated at the Working Load Limit of the Weakest Component.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WORKING LOAD LIMIT
Drop-Forged Heat-Treated Carbon or Alloy Steel
For Proper Closure, Peen the Prongs to Fill the Hole of the Mating Half as Much as Possible
Make Sure the Connecting Link Used is the Same Size as the Components Being Joined. e.g., a 3/8 in. Connecting Link is Used with 3/8 in. Chain
Meets Design Requirements of Federal Specification RR-C-271D, Type II
NEVER Re-Use a Connecting Link
Standard Finish is Self-Colored or Galvanized to Meet ASTM A-153 Specifications
The Working Load Limit of Connecting Links is Based on a Straight Line Pull. Any Side or Shock Loading Will Significantly Reduce the Actual Working Load Limit.
