This SecureFix Direct Quick Release Snap Hook (Size 3) is designed for marine and general-purpose applications requiring a secure yet easily releasable connection. Its primary benefit is the robust construction from Grade 316 Stainless Steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance. A potential caveat is its specific size, which may not be suitable for all applications. Key features include a spring-loaded safety catch, a high breaking load, and durable stainless steel construction.

Grade 316 is a high-quality stainless steel alloy known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and pitting, especially in marine and saline environments. This makes the hook durable and long-lasting in harsh conditions.
The breaking load for this Size 3 hook is 714 KG. This indicates the maximum load it can withstand before failure, not its safe working load.
This is a general-purpose hook with a specified breaking load. It is not certified for overhead lifting or critical safety applications. Always use equipment rated and certified for the specific load and safety requirements.
The spring-loaded safety catch is designed to keep the gate closed under normal tension. Ensure the gate is fully closed and engaged with the hook's body. For critical applications, consider additional securing methods if necessary.
The dimensions are: A (Overall Length) - 97mm, B (Height to gate opening) - 43mm, C (Thickness) - 7mm, D (Gate Opening Width) - 19.5mm, E (Depth of eye) - 13mm, F (Eyelet Diameter) - 9mm.
Yes, Grade 316 Stainless Steel is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments, offering excellent corrosion resistance in both.
Rinse the hook thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Use a soft brush to clean around the hinge and spring mechanism. Dry completely. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant sparingly to the hinge pin.
While Grade 316 Stainless Steel offers high resistance, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or extreme conditions can still cause surface discoloration. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel. For minor rust spots, a specialized stainless steel polish can be used. Ensure the item is rinsed and dried after cleaning.
Verify that the eyelet diameter of the hook (9mm) is compatible with the diameter of the fitting it is attaching to. Ensure both components are appropriately sized for a snug fit before applying load.
Setup:
This snap hook is designed for direct attachment to existing loops, rings, or eye bolts. Simply open the spring-loaded gate by pulling back the lever and engage it with the desired attachment point. Ensure the gate closes fully and the hook is securely seated before applying load.
Compatibility:
The hook's dimensions (A: 97mm, B: 43mm, C: 7mm, D: 19.5mm, E: 13mm, F: 9mm) make it compatible with a wide range of marine hardware and general fastening points. The eyelet diameter (F: 9mm) is crucial for compatibility with shackles, ropes, or other connectors.
Care:
To maintain the longevity and performance of the Grade 316 Stainless Steel, regular cleaning is recommended, especially in marine or high-humidity environments. Rinse the hook with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or dirt. Periodically, check the spring mechanism for free movement. If salt or debris impedes the gate, clean it with a soft brush and fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
