Features:
- End fittings are Quenched & Tempered or normalized, bodies heat-treated by normalizing
- Hot-dip galvanized steel
- Turnbuckles eyes are forged and elongated, by design, to maximize easy attachment in system and minimize stress in the eye
- For turnbuckles size 1/4” through 2-1/2”, a shackle one size smaller can be reeved through eye
- Forged jaw ends are fitted with bolts and nuts for 1/4” through 5/8”
- Modified UNJ thread on end fittings for improved fatigue properties
- Body has UNC threads
- TURNBUCKLES RECOMMENDED FOR STRAIGHT OR IN-LINE PULL ONLY
- Fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1-1/2 times the Working Load Limit
- Meets the performance requirements of Federal Specifications FF-T-791b, Type 1 Form 1 - CLASS 8, and ASTM F-1145, except for those provisions required of the contractor
