National Mfg N262-501 5/16 in Stainless Steel Quick Link 3 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N262-501 is a 5/16 inch stainless steel quick link designed for demanding environments where repeated loading and corrosion resistance are critical. Quick links in this category are used to connect chains, cables, ropes, and rigging hardware with a threaded closure that resists accidental opening under load. The N262-501 carries a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 300 pounds and delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to zinc or solid brass alternatives. This pack includes 3 quick links. Rigging professionals, marine service technicians, and agricultural maintenance crews are the primary installers of this hardware.

The N262-501 is suited for marine, industrial, and agricultural applications where exposure to moisture, salt, or chemicals would degrade zinc or brass hardware. It performs well in applications involving repeated loading cycles or fatigue stress, making it a reliable choice for securing loads, attaching lines, or linking chain runs in the field. The stainless steel construction holds up in outdoor and wet environments without the corrosion failures common to lower-grade materials.

Installation Notes

Quick links are installed by hand-threading the gate closure until fully tight, then backing off one half-turn to prevent jamming under load — confirm the exact procedure with the manufacturer instructions included with the product. Always inspect the link before each use for deformation, cracking, or thread damage. Do not use this quick link for overhead lifting, support of human weight, or athletic and playground equipment. Consult the manufacturer for safety guidance specific to your application.
