Open Chain

Available Material: Low-carbon Steel,Stainless Steel,Solid Brass or Aluminum

A lightweight chain made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance, it is used in applications requiring less durability, such as toilet flapper chain in plumbing. Side Open Chain is designed with a series of chain links connected, but not joined at the ends.

• Lightweight, flexible weldless chain
• Steel chain with good weather resistance.
• Is a weldless chain taht combines strength, flexibility, light weight and neat appearance.

Available Finishes:This item is available in Antique Brass, Acid Dipped, Bronze, Oil Bronzed Black, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel.

Packing Options: Bags,Cartons,reels,Pails,Durms,Clamsheel,Plastic card,Pallet box

​

WARNING:Chain and accessories shown are not to be used for overhead lifting or for hoisting applications. Do NOT exceed working load limits.

WORKING LOAD LIMITS:The maximum load (in pounds) which should never be applied to chain, even when the chain is new and the load is uniformly applied in direct tension to a straight, untwisted length of chain. The term “working load limit” contains no implication of what load the chain will withstand if any of the above factors are changed. Any chain can be subject to wear, twisting, misuse, overloading, intentional alteration and corrosion. These and other usage variables may cause a reduction in their working load limits. It is, therefore, important to regularly inspect all products to determine that they are safe for continued use.

Minimum Breaking Force: The "Minimum Breaking Force" is the minumum force at which the chain during manufacture has been found by testing to break when a constantly increasing force is applied in direct tension. Breaking force values are not guarantees that all chain segments will endure these loads. This test is a manufacturer's attribute acceptance test and shall not be used as a criterion for service or design purposes.

Overload:  Any static or dynamic load in excess of "Working Load Limit"

Proof Test:The load (in pounds) to which the chain was subjected, in the as-manufactured condition prior to the time it left the factory. Under this test, a load has been applied in direct tension to a straight length of chain with a uniform rate of speed on a standard chain testing machine. The sole purpose of this test is to discover defects in the material or manufacturing process.

Geberal Warnning:Low and high carbon steel, weldless and welded chain, and accessories made from assorted metals are intended to be used in tension or pull applications and are not to be used for lifting or hoisting purposes or when their failure is likely to cause damage to property or persons. Jerking or acceleration in the rate of application of a load multiplies the stress on the chain very rapidly and should be avoided.
