Value Collection BDNA-33951 Grade 30 Cold Shut Link

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-33951 is a Grade 30 cold shut link designed for connecting chain sections, securing loads, and forming temporary chain assemblies. This 5/16-inch diameter link carries a load limit of 1,250 pounds, making it suitable for light-to-medium duty rigging, towing, logging, and general load-securing applications. Cold shut links are closed with a hammer strike after installation, creating a quick and tool-minimal connection point. Installation does not require welding or specialized equipment, which makes these links a practical field solution for contractors, riggers, and service technicians working with Grade 30 chain assemblies.

Grade 30 cold shut links are commonly used in agricultural, construction, and general industrial settings where a fast, non-welded chain connection is acceptable. Typical applications include trailer safety chains, load binders, tow chains, and equipment tie-downs. This link is suited for use with 5/16-inch Grade 30 proof coil chain in residential and light commercial environments. It is not rated for overhead lifting and should not be substituted in overhead rigging applications.

Installation Notes

Cold shut links are installed by placing the open link through the chain end and striking the tab closed with a hammer on a solid surface. Once closed, the link is not designed to be reopened without cutting. Always verify the installed link seats fully closed before applying load. Do not use cold shut links as a substitute for welded master links or in overhead lifting configurations.
