About this product
The Beaver Chain Split Links 8mm x Electro Galvanised is a simple connector for joining two lengths of chain or patching a damaged one. At 8mm thickness it suits mid-weight chain work, and the link weighs 0.069kg, so it adds next to nothing to the assembly. Slip it through the end links, then close it up.
Closing is done either by hammering the link down or running a tack weld over it, depending on how permanent you want the join. The electro galvanised finish gives it a layer of protection against rust and corrosion in general site conditions. If the chain is going to live outdoors long term, the hot dip galvanised version of the same link is worth a look instead.
Common questions
- how do you close a chain split link
- You either hammer the link down until it shuts, or tack weld it closed in place. Both work, the weld is the more permanent option.
- what size chain does an 8mm split link fit
- This link is 8mm thick and is sized to join 8mm chain. Match the link thickness to the chain you are repairing.
- electro galvanised or hot dip galvanised split links
- Both finishes add protection against rust and corrosion. Electro galvanised suits general use, while hot dip is the heavier coating for harsher outdoor exposure.
