Value Collection WS-MH-CHN-138 Open End Link 1/4 in Q235

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-CHN-138 is a Q235 grade steel open end link with a blue zinc plating finish, sold in packages of 10. This component serves as a connecting link in chain and rigging assemblies, allowing technicians to extend, join, or terminate chain runs without specialized tooling. The blue zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and outdoor applications. At 1/4 inch diameter, the link carries a 3,520 pound load limit and an 880 pound working load limit. Riggers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals use this link in lifting, securing, and restraint applications where a reliable, rated connection point is required.

This open end link is suited for light-duty to medium-duty rigging, hanging, and tethering tasks across commercial, industrial, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include connecting chain sections, attaching hooks or hardware to chain assemblies, and securing loads in utility or facility maintenance work. The package quantity of 10 makes it practical for stocking service vehicles or shop supply bins. Its compact profile — 1.87 inches wide and 1 inch in height — fits standard chain hardware configurations at the 1/4 inch diameter size class.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by riggers or maintenance technicians familiar with rated hardware and load limits. Always verify that the working load limit of this link meets or exceeds the intended application load before use, accounting for shock loads and dynamic forces. Ensure all chain and hardware in the assembly carry compatible load ratings. Do not use this link in overhead lifting applications unless all components in the assembly are rated and inspected per applicable ASME B30 or OSHA standards.
