Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N223-073 is a zinc lap link designed for joining two lengths of chain together or for attaching accessories to a chain. Built from zinc for corrosion resistance, this 3/16-inch lap link is packaged in a box of 20 loose units, making it a practical stock item for contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who work with chain assemblies on a regular basis. Its simple open-link design allows for fast, tool-minimal installation in a wide range of light-duty chain applications.

The 20-count pack format supports service trucks and supply rooms that require on-hand inventory for repeat or multi-point jobs.

Installation Notes

Lap links are typically installed by maintenance technicians, fencing contractors, or general tradespeople using basic hand tools. Before installing, ensure the chain is relieved of any load or tension. Open the link, thread it through the chain ends or accessory fitting, and close securely. Do not use lap links in overhead lifting or load-bearing rigging applications unless the link is rated and certified for that purpose.
