Product Identity
This product is a 5/16" zinc plated steel chain clevis slip hook manufactured by Midwest Fastener Corp. It serves as a hardware component for lifting, pulling and conveying tasks where a secure yet quick-release connection to chain is required. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose use.
Suitable Users and Limitations
These hooks suit users needing a standard clevis slip hook for 5/16" chain in non-critical lifting or towing applications. They are not for buyers who require a latch or safety catch to prevent accidental unhooking. They are also not for applications demanding stainless steel or higher-grade alloy steel for overhead lifting.
Deciding Specification
The critical specification is the 5/16" chain size designation, which must match the chain diameter exactly for proper fit and safe working load. Verify that your chain matches this size before purchase.

Questions about this item
What size chain must I already have for the 5/16" clevis slip hook to fit?
The hook is made for 5/16 inch chain so you need chain of that exact diameter.
Can I use the zinc plated hook with older galvanized chain without corrosion issues?
Zinc plating and galvanized coatings are compatible for general use.
How can I confirm the 54665 hook is seated correctly after attaching it to the chain?
The clevis pin should be fully inserted and the cotter pin or lock engaged so the hook cannot rotate free.
