Stainless Steel 316 Double Anchor Chain Connector – 3/8″ & 1/2″ (10mm & 12mm)

Premium marine-grade stainless steel 316 double chain connector designed for joining two different sizes of anchor chain. This specialized connector allows you to connect 3/8″ (10mm) chain to 1/2″ (12mm) chain, making it ideal for transitioning between chain sizes in your ground tackle system or creating custom anchor rode configurations.

Specifications:

• Material: Marine-grade stainless steel 316 (A4)
• Chain Sizes: 3/8″ (10mm) and 1/2″ (12mm)
• Weight: 0.88 kg (880 grams)
• Finish: Polished stainless steel
• SKU: 98079
• Barcode: 5204980980795

Key Features:

• Stainless Steel 316 – Superior corrosion resistance for saltwater environments, better than 304 grade
• Dual Size Design – Connects two different chain sizes (3/8″ to 1/2″) in one connector
• Heavy-Duty Construction – Robust design handles high loads and shock loading
• Precision Machined – Accurate sizing ensures proper fit with standard anchor chain
• Smooth Finish – Polished surface reduces wear on windlass and chain locker

Applications:

• Chain Size Transition – Connect different chain sizes in your anchor rode system
• Windlass Compatibility – Use smaller chain at windlass, larger chain at anchor for optimal performance
• Custom Ground Tackle – Create specialized anchor systems with mixed chain sizes
• Mooring Systems – Connect different chain sections in permanent mooring installations
• Backup Anchor Systems – Join secondary anchor chain to primary rode

Why Stainless Steel 316?

Stainless steel 316 (also known as A4 or marine-grade stainless) contains molybdenum, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel. This makes it the preferred choice for critical marine hardware that will be constantly exposed to saltwater, especially in anchor and mooring systems where failure is not an option.

Essential hardware for vessels requiring chain size transitions in their ground tackle. The double connector design eliminates the need for multiple shackles or connectors, creating a cleaner, more reliable connection between different chain sizes.
