Chain Snap for #1 & #2 Chains
The National Manufacturing Co. zinc-plated open swivel eye chain snap is made for home, farm and recreational use with #1 and #2 chains. The open eye is designed to be closed with a vice or hammer after attachment. A steel eye body and gate provide the structural strength.
150 lb Working Load Limit
The snap carries a working load limit of 150 lb under normal use. The swivel eye rotates to eliminate chain tangling during operation. Zinc plating protects the steel components from corrosion in outdoor environments.
Fits 1/4 x 3-11/16 Inch Size
This hardware fits the specified 1/4 x 3-11/16 inch form factor for compatible chain connections. The swivel action frees the chain from twisting stress during movement. Buyers who need a different working load limit or a closed-eye design should select alternative hardware.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1/4 x 3-11/16 zinc plated open swivel eye chain snap, and what step is often missed?
Attach the open eye to the chain link, then close it fully with a vice or hammer; the step often missed is ensuring the eye is completely closed so the chain cannot slip out.
What maintenance or replacement will this chain snap need later?
Inspect the zinc plating and steel body regularly for wear or corrosion; replace the snap if the gate no longer latches securely or if the swivel action becomes stiff.
What limit appears first when this snap is used continuously under load?
The working load limit of 150 lb is the first limit reached; exceeding it risks deformation or failure of the steel eye body and gate.
