Wichard 12mm Self-Locking Allen Head D Shackle

The Wichard Self-Locking Allen Head Pin D Shackle 12mm is a forged shackle for connecting sailboat rigging and deck fittings. Wichard specifies 316L stainless steel construction for this fitting. The connection uses a straight-sided D profile. The design uses a self-locking pin to secure the fitting.

Its D shape suits connections that load primarily through the straight body and pin. The self-locking pin seats in a body indentation to help resist loosening. An Allen-head pin is intended for operation with the corresponding hex key.

The marine working load listed for this size is 4,580 lb. The published breaking load is 13,220 lb. Select the diameter and opening dimensions for the specific block, line, or deck fitting. Wichard distinguishes the industrial working load limit from the marine working load rating. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
