Stainless steel round steel chain standardized

This standardized stainless steel round steel chain is designed for fixing with Rapid screw links. Both 7mm and 8mm quick links can be used.

On the one hand, it is perfect for making permanent express extensions. On the other hand, it is ideal for stand renovation. The steel chain is made of AISI 316 / A4 steel. Consequently, it fits perfectly with all standard lower off climbing anchors made of this steel quality.

Stand renovation

With this standardized stainless steel round steel chain, stand renovation is a breeze. You don’t have to remove the old bolt hanger or glue in bolt. This saves an enormous amount of time! Simply hang the chain between the fixed points without tension using two matching quick links. The following quick link sizes can be used:

• 7mm
• 8mm

Avoid galvanic corrosion

The standardized stainless steel round steel chain is made of AISI 316 steel. I.e. A4 steel. Consequently, suitable screw links made of A4 / AISI 316L must be added to avoid galvanic corrosion (contact corrosion).

This is because combining precious and non-precious components causes this undesirable type of “rusting”.

Storing standardized stainless steel round steel chain correctly

Store this steel chain dry and separate from other steel parts. Also make sure to include information that the chain is made of A4 steel. This is the only way to know which steel quality can be used for a long time afterwards.
