Wichard 12mm 316L Stainless Self-Locking D Shackle

The Wichard Self-Locking D Shackle 12mm 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 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. 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 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.
