National Mfg N348-540 Galvanized Rope Cleat 8 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N348-540 is an 8-inch galvanized rope cleat designed for securing rope in demanding outdoor and marine environments. Constructed from galvanized steel, this cleat resists corrosion from moisture, salt air, and general weathering — making it a reliable choice for applications where hardware is exposed to the elements. It is sold in a bulk package of 10 units, suited for contractors, marine outfitters, and facilities maintenance crews who need multiple fasteners for a single job or ongoing service work.

This rope cleat is intended for fastening rope to anchor sun screens, awnings, tarps, small boats, and similar rigging applications. Its galvanized finish makes it well-suited for marine dockside use, outdoor shade structures, and tarp tie-down systems on job sites or storage yards. The 8-inch length provides a firm two-point mount with adequate horn spread for wrapping and securing a variety of rope diameters. It is commonly installed by marine technicians, general contractors, and maintenance professionals handling outdoor fixture work.

Installation Notes

Rope cleats are typically installed by marine technicians, riggers, or general maintenance personnel using standard fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface material. Mount to a structurally sound substrate — wood, fiberglass, or metal — using fasteners rated for outdoor or marine exposure to match the cleat finish. Ensure mounting points are secure and load-bearing before tensioning rope. Follow all applicable marine safety guidelines and manufacturer recommendations for load ratings.
