Description
Overview
The Shackle-Dee Captiv SS 5 mm (Part Number RWB2403) offers a secure stainless steel dee shackle design with a captive screw pin. Because the pin stays attached to the body even when opened, you reduce the risk of losing it during use. This feature makes the 5 mm variant a reliable option for rigging and other marine applications.
Features
• The captive screw pin remains attached, so you avoid misplacing it
• A polished surface helps resist corrosion and tea staining
• Marine-grade stainless steel construction ensures durability
• Compact dimensions fit neatly with small-scale rigging tasks
Specifications and Materials
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Diameter (D) | 5 mm |
| Inner pin diameter (D2) | 4 mm |
| Length (L) | 18 mm |
| Jaw width (B) | 10 mm |
| Safe Working Load (S.W.L.) | 260 kg |
The design uses stainless steel material often described as 317 grade, although many equivalent captive-pin shackles rely on 316/A4 marine grade. Each size undergoes testing to confirm safe working load values. In addition, SteelGear’s technical table for captive pin shackles provides a useful comparison for dimensional consistency.
Compatibility and Fitment
This shackle fits applications where a compact 5 mm dee shackle is needed. For example, you can use it with small chain, wire rope, or fittings sized for 5 mm jaws. Always double-check that the pin diameter and jaw width suit your hardware.
Compliance and Safety
Follow the rated safe working load of 260 kg to maintain safety margins. As a result, you prevent overstressing the metal and reduce the chance of failure. Inspect the shackle regularly for corrosion, deformation, or wear. Because the captive pin reduces loss, you gain extra security in dynamic environments.
Marine Applications
You can apply this shackle in sailboat rigging, deck hardware, shade sail installation, or balustrading projects. Additionally, it works well in other outdoor areas where stainless steel is required to resist saltwater and weather exposure.
