About this product
The Beaver Chain Split Links 8mm x Hot Dipped Galvanised is a simple connector for joining two lengths of chain or patching a damaged run. The 8mm thickness suits chain in that size bracket, and at 0.069kg each it adds almost nothing to the weight of the assembly. Fitting is straightforward. Slip the link into place, then hammer it closed or tack weld it so it stays shut.
The hot dipped galvanised coating gives it better protection against rust and corrosion than a bare link, which helps if the chain lives outdoors or gets wet. Handy to keep a few in the ute or the workshop drawer for fencing, gates and general chain repairs. If you want a lighter coating for drier, indoor work, the same link is also available in electro galvanised.
Common questions
- what size chain does an 8mm split link suit
- This link is 8mm thick, so it is matched to 8mm chain. Check the chain diameter before ordering, as the range covers 12 sizes.
- how do you close a chain split link
- You can hammer the link down or tack weld it once it is in position. Both methods close the link so it will not work its way open.
- what is the difference between hot dipped and electro galvanised split links
- Both finishes protect against rust and corrosion. Hot dipped galvanised, like this 8mm link, carries the heavier coating, while electro galvanised is the lighter option.
