Is this suitable for use with an electric windlass?

While this joiner is high-strength, it is generally slightly larger than a standard chain link once riveted. We recommend caution when using it with an automated windlass, as it may snag on the gipsy. It is best used for static anchor connections or chain repairs.

How do I know if it is compatible?

If you have a standard 8mm (5/16 inch) marine chain, this connector is designed for a direct fit. Simply ensure the internal clearance of your links allows the connector to pass through.

How do you install this link?

Place the two halves through the chain links you wish to connect, align the rivets, and use a heavy hammer and an anvil (or hard surface) to "peen" (flatten) the rivet heads over. This creates a permanent, non-removable connection.
