Marine Grade Stainless Steel Anchor Chain Link with Riveted Pin

A Chain Connecting Link is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into a chain run, providing a permanent, low-profile connection. Unlike a standard shackle which uses a removable pin, a Riveted Chain Link is secured by riveting the ends together. This creates a fixed loop that is less likely to snag and offers superior strength for continuous tension applications, making it ideal for anchor rodes and industrial rigging.

Yes, absolutely. Our Chain Quick Link is engineered for high-load environments. When properly riveted, it functions as a permanent connector that will not unscrew or loosen over time. For permanent mooring, we recommend using our AISI 316 stainless steel Riveted Chain Link, as it offers the highest resistance to corrosion in saltwater, ensuring your mooring system remains secure and intact for years.

Installation is straightforward but requires precision. First, thread the Chain Connecting Link through the chain ends you wish to join. Once positioned, use a hammer and a sturdy surface (or a hydraulic press) to flare the open end of the link. You must peen the metal over until the gap is fully closed. A properly installed Riveted Chain Link should have no play or movement at the joint, effectively becoming a solid part of the chain.

Yes, provided it is rated for the load. Our stainless steel Chain Quick Link is manufactured to withstand significant tensile strength. However, for overhead lifting, it is crucial to ensure the link is fully riveted and inspected for any defects before use. Always consult the Working Load Limit (WLL) specifications for the specific diameter of the Chain Connecting Link you are purchasing to ensure it matches your lifting requirements.
