Wichard 8mm HR Key Pin Shackle with Bar for Sailing

The Wichard HR Key Pin Shackle with Bar 8mm Pin Diameter is a forged shackle for connecting sailboat rigging and deck fittings. Its 17-4 PH high-resistance stainless steel body is intended for demanding load applications. The connection uses a key-pin and bar closure. Its pin arrangement matches the listed shackle style.

The bar and key pin form the distinctive closure on this model. Pin and opening dimensions should match the hardware connected to it. The shackle should be loaded in the intended alignment rather than across an unsupported side angle. The shackle can be used with other rigging hardware only where the connection and load arrangement are compatible.

The marine working load listed for this size is 2,110 lb. The published breaking load is 7,710 lb. Wichard specifically excludes this HR shackle from mooring use. Wichard distinguishes the industrial working load limit from the marine working load rating. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
