Value Collection 512-1871-001 Stainless Steel Chain 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 512-1871-001 is a 3/16-inch welded stainless steel chain rated for general-purpose rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel, this chain delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. It carries a 1,200-pound working load capacity and is sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum order quantity of 25 feet, making it practical for both job-site cuts and larger project runs. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for Grade 316 material and requires no additional surface treatment. Licensed riggers, marine contractors, and industrial maintenance trades are the typical installers and end users for this product.

This chain is suited for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments where standard carbon steel chain would corrode prematurely. Common applications include dock and mooring hardware, pool and spa equipment anchoring, architectural rigging, and light-duty overhead lifting when used with properly rated hardware. The cut-to-length format allows field technicians to size runs precisely without waste. With 13 links per foot and an inside length of 0.95 inches, the chain integrates with standard stainless hardware hooks, shackles, and connecting links sized for 3/16-inch chain.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in marine and chemical environments
• 1,200-pound load capacity supports light-duty rigging and tie-down use
• Sold in 1-foot increments, cut to the exact length needed on-site
• 13 links per foot with 0.38-inch inside width for compatibility with standard 3/16-inch stainless hardware
• Bright uncoated finish — no secondary surface treatment required
• Welded links for consistent strength along the full coil length

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard stainless steel hardware rated for 3/16-inch chain, including hooks, shackles, turnbuckles, and connecting links. Verify all mating hardware is rated at or above the 1,200-pound capacity of this chain before assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation and rigging should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and local safety codes. Before cutting, de-energize or de-tension any connected load and confirm the anchor points exceed the chain working load rating. Use appropriate chain cutters or angle grinders rated for stainless steel — standard carbon-steel tools may contaminate the cut surface and accelerate corrosion at the link ends. Never exceed the stated 1,200-pound working load capacity, and inspect links for deformation or cracking before each use.
