Apex Tools Group Llc T4900324 Cold Shut 3/16 Inch 450 Lb

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC T4900324 is a 3/16-inch cold shut link made from high carbon steel with a Blu-Krome finish. Cold shuts are used to close and secure chain links or form connections in chain assemblies without requiring a welded closure. This unit carries a working load limit (WLL) of 450 pounds, making it suitable for light-to-medium duty rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications. The Blu-Krome finish provides a corrosion-resistant surface layer that extends service life in general-use environments. This part is sold individually and typically installed by riggers, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals working with chain systems.

This cold shut is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where a reliable, non-permanent chain connection is needed. Common applications include securing chain runs, attaching hooks or hardware, and general rigging assembly. The 3/16-inch wire diameter fits standard chain sizes at that gauge. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 10 units per order.

Installation Notes

Cold shuts are installed by closing the open end of the link using appropriate hand tools or a hammer after positioning in the chain assembly. Always verify the working load limit is appropriate for the intended load before use and never exceed the rated WLL. Inspect the link and surrounding chain for wear, deformation, or corrosion prior to installation. Follow applicable rigging safety standards and local regulations for chain hardware use.
