Product Identity
The MIDWEST FASTENER 54668 is a zinc-plated steel chain clevis slip hook designed for lifting, pulling and conveying tasks. It is built for industrial, agricultural and automotive maintenance applications where a secure, quick-attach connection is required.
Suitability
This hook suits riggers and technicians who need a 1/2 inch rated attachment point for chain assemblies. It is not intended for overhead lifting of personnel or for applications demanding a positive locking latch mechanism.

Questions about this item
What chain size fits the 1/2 inch clevis on the 54668 slip hook?
The 1/2 inch clevis is sized for 1/2 inch chain so the link seats in the saddle and the pin closes through the link ends
Can I keep using my existing zinc plated chain with the 54668 hook?
Yes, the zinc plated steel hook mates with zinc plated chain of the same trade size without galvanic mismatch
How do I confirm the 54668 hook is seated correctly after installation?
The chain link should sit fully in the saddle, the clevis pin must pass through both link ends and the cotter pin or locking device must be fully engaged
