Quick Link Asymmetric 7mm

The Quick Link Asymmetric 7mm is characterized by its pear shape. This means it has a very wide apex for large eyelets or wide objects.

This makes this screw link ideal for several applications. For example, for transferring loads from narrow to wide belts. It is also perfect for attaching rope clamps.

Watch out for galvanic corrosion!

If you install the Quick Link Asymmetric 7mm fixed, you must pay attention to galvanic corrosion! This means that you must not hang this stainless steel product in a zinc plated steel fixed point. This will lead to corrosion of the fixed point over time.

Please always combine zinc-plated components with other zinc-plated components such as bolt hanger. If the fixed point is made of zinc plated steel, you must use a link with the same steel quality. This is the only way to ensure long-term durability. I.e. over many years.

Problematic DIY store screw links

Unfortunately, DIY store quick links keep turning up in the climbing equipment of our drilling course participants. Watch out! These can be life-threatening. The breaking loads are often only a few hundred kilos. Consequently, these links do not meet any standards.

Only use standardized or tested products such as the Quick Link Asymmetric 7mm. They are clearly recognizable by the markings on the side. Only standardized material should be used in the above-mentioned areas.

screw link Note types!

There are many different models of quick links. The oval shape of the quick link is the classic one. But with a large opening!

It is mainly used for vertical force transmission of ropes or steel components.

For example, from a glue in bolt to an 8mm or 10mm rope. Or from the metal ring of the work at heights harness to a webbing sling or energy absorber.

The long models of the oval quick links have a large screw opening. Compared to the “short” standard models, much larger items of equipment fit into the quick link Kong long 10mm.

Depending on the intended use, these shapes may also be more suitable:

• D-shaped: for attaching several securing points as with the work at heights
• Triangular: to transfer loads from a small attachment point to a slackline, for example
• rectangular: for lifting work such as connecting sling to sling
• pear-shaped: on the one hand where large screw openings are required or wide components are to be suspended on the other hand
• oval: classic design for all vertical force transmissions

Practical tip Quick Link Asymmetric 7mm

Anyone who uses this quick link Kong regularly should maintain it. Yes, exactly! W A R T E N! This can be the case with work at heights, for example. Here you have to hang the link in and out of the harness or rigging plate again and again. This means you are well advised to lubricate it with a climbing equipment care oil. This means that the screw lock can still be operated easily!
