Sea-Dog 158006-1 Galvanized Quick Link, 1/4 Inch, 4400 lb Breaking Strength

The Sea-Dog 158006-1 is a 1/4 inch galvanized quick link designed for fast, reusable connections between two lengths of chain or for attaching accessories directly to chain. It features a two-sided threaded link with a hex-shaped bolt body, allowing it to be opened and closed by hand or with a wrench for quick installation without special tools. This makes it a practical choice for chain repair, hanging hammocks, rigging restraining gates, and other applications where a removable connection is preferred over a permanent shackle or link.

The link is constructed of electro-galvanized formed mild steel, which provides a layer of corrosion protection suited to marine and outdoor environments. With a stock diameter of 1/4 inch and an overall length of 2-1/4 inches, it carries a rated breaking strength of 4,400 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-duty rigging and connection tasks. As a general-purpose connector, it is not manufactured to fit a specific boat, engine, or model and can be used anywhere a 1/4 inch quick link of this size and load rating is needed.
