29944 - Wichard Marine Wichard Chain Grip - For 8mm Chain - 5/16" - 85mm Length - 3-11/32"

Chain Grip - 8mm Chain - 5/16" - 85mm Length - 3-11/32"

Features: 

• For an 8mm chain
• Perfect to ensure safe anchoring by easing the tension on the anchor chain
• Protects the boat by reducing the chafe of the chain on the rub rail and roller chock
• Positioned between two links of the chain (single-handed operation)
• Optimized design to avoid accidental release of the chain
• One piece with nonmoving parts
• Forged in Duplex stainless steel grade (increased mechanical & corrosion resistance)

Applications:

• Mooring

Specifications:

The Wichard Chain Grip, part number 29944, is a specialized hardware component designed for managing 8mm chains in marine anchoring and mooring applications. This grip is engineered to fit securely between two chain links, facilitating single-handed operation. Its primary function is to protect boat surfaces, such as rub rails and roller chocks, from chafe caused by chain movement, thereby extending their lifespan. Constructed from Duplex stainless steel, the grip offers enhanced mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding marine environments. It is optimized to prevent accidental release, contributing to safer anchoring and tension management. With a working load limit of 1050 lb and a breaking load capacity of 1960 lb, this component provides a reliable solution for maintaining chain stability and reducing wear on vessel infrastructure.
