Black Steel Bow Shackle - 12mm - 1/2"
Choose a self-colour plain-steel commercial shackle for a mooring or continuous underwater application. The black steel finish distinguishes this range from galvanised and stainless steel shackles.
This bow variant has a pin diameter of 12mm - 1/2". Check that pin size against the attachment opening before choosing the shackle.
Match the pin, body and adjoining hardware
A shackle provides a removable connection, making its pin and body shape equally important when selecting a replacement. The pin must fit the receiving opening, while the body needs room for the other part of the assembly. Comparing those interfaces together helps avoid choosing a fitting that has the right nominal size but the wrong clearance.
Consider access for opening and closing the pin in the final position. This matters when the fitting sits near another component or inside a confined mounting area. During routine checks, inspect the pin engagement, body and contact points together. Use the stated rating information for this particular version; a different body style or metal size can carry different guidance.
Selection details
Check the pin diameter against the adjoining hardware and choose the body shape required by the connection. The intended assembly and operating conditions still determine suitability. This model has no published working-load value in the supplied product specifications.
The rounded bow creates a different internal shape from a dee shackle. Look at the way the adjoining fitting sits within that curve and at the room available around the pin. The choice of shape should follow the intended connection, with the selected model’s dimensions and rating information checked at the same time.
