FAQs

What is the primary use of a long series quick link?

Long series quick links are used to connect two items together, offering an extended reach or different attachment geometry compared to standard quick links. They are common in marine, military, and outdoor applications.

Is the galvanised finish suitable for saltwater environments?

Yes, the galvanised finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making it well-suited for use in saltwater and other harsh environments.

What is the size of this specific quick link?

This is the SFCOMLQL12 model, which is a 12mm quick link. The 'A' dimension (width of opening) is 24.2mm and the 'B' dimension (overall length) is 98mm.

How do I ensure the quick link is securely closed?

After placing the items into the link, you must screw the gate clockwise until it is firmly tightened against the body of the quick link. Always check that it is fully closed and secure before applying load.

Can this quick link be used for overhead lifting?

This quick link is generally intended for general-purpose connecting. It is not typically rated for overhead lifting applications unless specifically stated and certified for such use. Always check product specifications and safety standards for lifting equipment.

What materials is this quick link made from?

This quick link is made from steel with a galvanised finish.

Troubleshooting

Screw gate is difficult to turn

Clean any debris or grit from the threads. If necessary, apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the threads and work the gate back and forth.

Quick link appears corroded

Clean the surface with a wire brush suitable for galvanised steel. If corrosion is deep or structural, discontinue use and replace the quick link.

Quick link does not close securely

Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the gate's closure. Check that the threads on the screw gate are not damaged. If damaged, the quick link should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable galvanised finish for superior corrosion resistance.
  • Strong and reliable connection for secure attachment of items.
  • Long series design offers greater utility in specific use cases.
  • Easy to operate screw-gate for quick and secure fastening.
  • Suitable for demanding environments like marine and military applications.

Cons

  • Specific load limits apply; users must ensure it meets their requirements.
  • Galvanised finish may show minor cosmetic variations.
  • Not intended for overhead lifting applications unless specifically rated and approved.
  • Requires manual tightening of the screw gate for secure closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the quick link is clean and free of debris.
  2. Open the screw gate by rotating it counter-clockwise.
  3. Insert the items you wish to connect (e.g., chain links, rope ends) into the opening of the quick link.
  4. Close the gate by rotating it clockwise until it is fully tightened against the body of the link.

Compatibility:

This quick link is designed to connect two separate items, such as chains, ropes, or webbing straps. Ensure the diameter and strength of the items being connected are compatible with the quick link's size (12mm) and its intended load capacity. It is not designed for permanent or continuous load-bearing connections without verification for the specific application.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the quick link for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
  • Clean the quick link periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and salt residue, especially after exposure to marine environments.
  • Ensure the screw gate operates smoothly. If it becomes stiff, a light application of a suitable lubricant (e.g., marine-grade grease) may be applied sparingly.
  • Avoid exposing the quick link to chemicals or extreme temperatures that could compromise its integrity.
