Galvanised Chain Split Link - 8mm (5/16")
Join chain with a hot-dipped galvanised steel split link. This compact joining component is identified by its material diameter, allowing you to compare the selected size with the chain and connection you are assembling.
The material diameter of this link is 8mm (5/16"). Use that measurement when comparing the connector with the chain you intend to join.
Choose the joining method as well as the size
A chain joining component needs to suit both the chain and the way the connection will be assembled. The stated metal or chain diameter is a starting point, while the opening and finished link shape determine how the parts fit together. Check the joining method described for this version before selecting it for a repair or new assembly.
Compare both chain ends before starting work, particularly when joining an older section to replacement chain. Allow for the connector’s position within the complete run and any equipment the chain must pass through. Once assembled, keep the join identifiable and accessible during routine inspections of the chain and its end connections.
Selection details
Check the actual fit of the link in the intended chain. Material diameter describes the metal of the joining link; it does not by itself establish a load rating or universal chain compatibility. Use the dimensions of the complete assembly when selecting replacement connecting hardware.
When matching existing equipment, keep the exact product code with the dimensions you have checked. Similar-looking fittings can differ in their opening, material section or connection style. Comparing the full specification before ordering makes it easier to select a replacement that fits the arrangement you already have and remains straightforward to maintain.
