Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm – AISI 316

Our Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm is THE quick link for load transfer. It is used wherever a load needs to be transferred from a wide to a narrow component. For example, from a rope loop to a belay device. Or from a shock absorber to an automatic rope brake. It is also used in mountain rescue and cave rescue.

The product advantages of the Quick Link are manifold. Firstly, the price of the AISI 316 stainless steel link is very attractive. Secondly, the product complies with EN standard 12275 and EN standard 362. And thirdly, the breaking load is very high at 60 kN / 30 kN.

Application areas Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm

The product is very popular in many areas, such as:

• to lower off-climbing anchors for rappelling
• in glue in bolt for retreating / rappelling
• in expansion bolt for retreating / rappelling
• as an abseiling point in cave exploration
• for the fixed connection of gear for work at heights
• in the field of mountain rescue and cave rescue
• Fixed connection of ascender with webbing slings / stepladders
• Fixing components for rescue systems

Watch out for galvanic corrosion!

If you install a Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm 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 combine. 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. for many years.

Problematic DIY store screw links

Unfortunately, non-standardized products from the DIY market keep turning up at abseiling points. 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 products such as the Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm. 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 Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm is triangular. It is mainly used for vertical force transmission from narrow to wide components or gear. For example, from the metal ring of a work at heights harness to a webbing sling or shock absorber. Or from a narrow suspension point such as a expansion bolt to a webbing sling, as in various rescue systems.

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 Kong Quick Link Triangle 10mm

Anyone who uses a Kong Quick Link Triangle 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 keep hanging the link in and out of the harness or rigging plate. This means that you are well advised to lubricate it with a climbing equipment care oil. This means that the screw lock can still be operated easily!
