National Marker N197202 Heavy Open S Hook Stainless Steel

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N197202 is a heavy-duty open S hook fabricated from stainless steel and sized at 2.5 inches. It is designed for load-bearing hanging and fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The non-magnetic stainless steel construction makes it suitable for marine environments, outdoor installations, and applications where ferrous hardware is not acceptable. Each hook can be opened and closed using standard pliers or a vise, allowing field adjustment without specialty tooling. This type of hardware is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, marine service professionals, and tradespeople working on rigging, display, or outdoor fixture applications.

The N197202 is built for marine and outdoor use where exposure to moisture, salt air, and the elements demands a corrosion-resistant fastener. Its open S configuration allows quick connection to chains, cables, rings, or other hanging hardware. The ability to field-adjust the hook opening with basic hand tools adds flexibility across a wide range of install scenarios, from equipment hanging to utility rigging in outdoor enclosures.
