Value Collection WS-MH-CHN-140 Open End Link 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-CHN-140 is a Q235 grade steel open end link with a blue zinc plating finish, designed for use in chain assemblies, rigging, and load-bearing hardware applications. This link has a 3/8 inch diameter and a rated load limit of 9,200 pounds, with a working load limit of 9,200 pounds and a working load limit of 2,300 pounds. The blue zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor environments. It is commonly installed by rigging technicians, maintenance professionals, and contractors who require a reliable connecting link in chain or lifting systems.

This open end link is suited for residential and commercial rigging, towing, load securing, and general-purpose chain connection tasks. With a 3/8 inch diameter body, it fits standard chain sizes appropriate to that diameter. The part is sold in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for stocking or multi-point installations. No special tooling is required for fitment into compatible chain assemblies, though the open end design means it is not intended for overhead lifting applications where a closed or master link is required.

Key Features

• Q235 grade steel construction for consistent mechanical properties
• Blue zinc plating for corrosion resistance in light-duty exposed environments
• 3/8 inch diameter fits standard chain link sizes at that gauge
• 9,200 pound load limit with a 2,300 pound working load limit
• Open end design allows quick insertion into chain assemblies without disassembly
• Sold in a package of 10 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for use with 3/8 inch diameter chain assemblies in rigging, towing, and load-securing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by rigging technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with load-rated hardware. Before attaching or removing any chain link in a loaded system, fully relieve tension and secure the load by other means. Open end links are not rated for overhead lifting and should not be substituted for closed master links or shackles in overhead rigging per ASME B30 guidelines. Inspect the link for deformation, corrosion, or cracking before each use.
