Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N221-986 is a zinc hook/hook turnbuckle built for tightening or drawing together various lines and cables. The body is extruded aluminum measuring 5.5 inches in length with a 3/16 inch wire diameter, giving it a compact profile suited for light-to-medium tensioning tasks. Steel wire hooks on both ends provide secure attachment points. The hex body design allows for manual adjustment by hand or with a standard wrench, making it practical for field use without specialty tools. This hardware is appropriate for contractors, riggers, and general tradespeople who need reliable cable and line tensioning hardware.

This turnbuckle is used in applications where controlled tensioning or alignment of cables, lines, or rods is required. Its zinc and aluminum construction makes it suitable for general construction, fencing, rigging, and mechanical applications where corrosion resistance and lightweight hardware are priorities. The hook/hook configuration allows quick attachment and detachment at both ends, making it a common choice in residential and light commercial settings. The part is packaged loose and sold in quantities of 10 units per package.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by contractors, riggers, or maintenance tradespeople using standard hand tools. Ensure all attached lines or cables are fully de-tensioned before installing or adjusting the turnbuckle. Thread both hook ends evenly to maintain balanced load distribution and prevent cross-threading the barrel. Do not exceed the rated working load of the hardware for the application.
