Wichard 8mm Stainless Steel Key Pin Shackle

The Wichard Key Pin Shackle 8mm for Marine Rigging is a forged shackle for connecting sailboat rigging and deck fittings. Wichard specifies 316L stainless steel construction for this fitting. 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 1,760 lb. The published breaking load is 5,070 lb. Select the diameter and opening dimensions for the specific block, line, or deck fitting. Check the intended connection for correct pin seating before applying load. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
