Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N265-488 is a 5/16-inch blue clevis slip hook with latch, sold in a pack of five. This hardware component is designed for making quick, secure connections with chain in load-bearing and rigging applications. The latch prevents accidental disengagement under load, making it a reliable choice for tie-down, towing, and lifting setups. The blue finish aids in visual identification on jobsites where multiple hook sizes are in use. Installation requires no special tools and is suited for general contractors, riggers, and trade professionals working with chain assemblies.

This slip hook with latch is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where quick chain attachment and detachment is required. Typical use scenarios include securing loads on flatbed trucks, anchoring equipment, and connecting chain segments in rigging systems. The clevis design allows the hook to be pinned directly to a chain link or anchor point. Each package contains five hooks, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple connection points.
