Description
Overview
The Shackle-Dee Captiv SS 6 mm (Part Number RWB2404) provides a robust stainless steel dee shackle with a captive screw pin. Because the pin cannot fully detach when unscrewed, you avoid losing it during use. This design ensures reliability in marine rigging tasks and general hardware applications.
Features
• Captive screw pin design keeps the pin attached even when open
• Polished finish reduces corrosion and limits tea staining in marine environments
• Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel for enhanced durability
• Compact dimensions make it suitable for smaller rigging assemblies

Compatibility and Fitment
This shackle suits applications that require a 6 mm dee shackle with captive pin functionality. For instance, it pairs with wire rope, fittings, or chain sized for 6 mm jaw widths. Make sure the pin diameter (5 mm) matches your hardware tolerances.
Compliance and Safety
Always stay within the 400 kg lifting or pulling limit to maintain safety margins. Inspect the shackle regularly for wear, corrosion, or deformation. Because the captive pin does not fall away, you gain additional security in dynamic or vibrating environments.
Marine Applications
You can use this shackle in sailboat rigging, balustrade fittings, shade sails, or other outdoor marine hardware that require corrosion resistance. Additionally, its captive pin design prevents accidental pin loss in motion.
