This guide is for anyone needing to tighten, tension, or adjust wire rope, chain, or cable. The SecureFix Direct Galvanised Turnbuckle offers a durable solution with an open body for visible thread monitoring, allowing precise adjustments. A potential caveat is its specific size (1/2" X 6") which may not suit all applications. Key features include hot-dipped galvanised steel construction for corrosion resistance, adherence to Federal Specifications FF-T-791b, and a design suitable for various tensioning tasks.

This turnbuckle is primarily used for tightening, tensioning, and adjusting wire rope, chain, and cable applications.
An 'Open Body' design means the internal threads are visible through the central section of the turnbuckle. This allows users to easily see the extent of adjustment and monitor the tensioning process.
The turnbuckle is made of Hot Dipped Galvanised Steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and rust.
Yes, it can be used with chain, as well as wire rope and cable, provided the connection points are compatible with the jaw ends.
The approximate overall length when fully extended is 17.50 inches (J) and when fully retracted is 11.50 inches (K). The main body diameter (BB) is 6.00 inches. Please refer to the specification table for all precise measurements.
Yes, it adheres to Federal Specifications FF-T-791b, Type Form 1-class 7.
To increase tension, rotate the center body of the turnbuckle clockwise. This action draws the two jaw ends closer together, shortening the overall length and tightening the connected material.
Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris or rust. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the threads and attempt to turn again. Check that the connected components are not misaligned, causing binding.
Verify that the size and type of the jaw end (1/2" diameter) match the eyelet or loop of the connected rope, chain, or cable. Ensure the opening of the jaw is sufficient for the connecting pin or link.
The hot-dipped galvanised coating provides protection. Minor surface rust can often be wiped away. For significant corrosion, consider replacing the unit to ensure safety and performance.
