About this product
The Beaver Chain Split Links 5mm x Electro Galvanised is a small connecting link for joining or repairing lengths of chain without needing a full replacement run. At 5mm thickness it is the size to reach for on lighter chain work, and at 0.0172kg each it barely registers in the toolbox. Slip it through, then hammer it down or tack weld it to close the link in place.
The electro galvanised finish gives it some protection against rust and corrosion, which helps when the chain is working outdoors or getting knocked about in a yard. It is a quick, economical fix. Just keep in mind a split link is a chain repair item, not a substitute for a rated lifting component, so match it to the job and check the closed link before the chain goes back to work.
Common questions
- what is a chain split link used for
- Joining or repairing lengths of chain quickly and cheaply. You feed the split link into place, then hammer it down or tack weld it closed.
- what size chain does a 5mm split link suit
- This variant is 5mm thick, so it is matched to lighter chain of the same size. Check the link sits properly in the chain before closing it.
- is electro galvanised or hot dip galvanised better for split links
- Beaver split links come in both finishes for protection against rust and corrosion. Electro galvanised, as here, gives a lighter coating that suits general use.
