Description
Overview:
The 8 mm Galvanised Quick Link (MPN 974 008) is a threaded steel connector for making secure, removable joins in chain, wire rope, or cord where lifting is not required. Manufactured from galvanised steel with an electro‐galvanised finish, it offers strong resistance to rust and weathering in outdoor and industrial environments. The oval body and screw sleeve provide a dependable closure that is easy to fit by hand and can be tightened with a spanner for added security. It is well suited to tasks around construction sites, workshops, agriculture, and garden machinery, such as securing guards, accessories, or signage, and creating attachment points on trailers, gates, and fencing. Size: 8 mm (approx 0.31 in). Not for overhead lifting or load‐bearing hoists.
