Description
Overview
The Turnbuckle H & E Stainless Steel 10 mm (Part Number RWB2541) is a practical rigging tensioner for boats and general load adjustment. It uses a hook and eye configuration and relies on stainless steel to resist corrosion. Because it provides steady length adjustment, you can fine-tune cable or rope tension with confidence.
Features
– Open-body turnbuckle design with lock nuts that stop movement
– Hook and eye ends that connect quickly to ropes, chains, or fittings
– Threaded body that gives smooth adjustment of tension and length
– Stainless steel grade 319 for durability in marine environments
Specifications and Materials
This unit measures 10 mm in body diameter. It has a reference length (L1) of 150 mm, a minimum length (L2 min) of 255 mm, and a maximum length (L2 max) of 350 mm. The safe working load is 450 kg, which covers most small-to-medium rigging jobs on board.
The turnbuckle body and end fittings use stainless steel 319 grade, which performs well in saltwater. For additional technical details on turnbuckle construction and load ratings, see the Green Pin Turnbuckles Technical Guide (PDF).
Compatibility and Fitment
Because the turnbuckle uses hook and eye ends, it connects directly to shackles, chain links, or rope eyes. The adjustable body lets you take up slack and compensate for small differences in length. As a result, you can adapt it to many setups without extra hardware. Always align the fittings in a straight line so that the load remains balanced.
Compliance and Safety
You should always use turnbuckles in straight, in-line applications. They are not designed to handle bending or sideways stress. For safe practice, inspect the threads and lock nuts before each use, because damage or corrosion can reduce strength. Replace any worn component at once. By following these steps, you ensure the 450 kg rating remains reliable.
Marine Applications
This hook and eye turnbuckle suits many onboard tasks. For example, you can stabilise stays, rigging lines, deck braces, or antenna mounts. Because it uses stainless steel, it also works well on lifelines and guard rails that face constant spray. In addition, the lock nuts give extra security when the vessel moves under load.
