Snap stainless steel shackle with 8 mm latch – code: 08.764.08 – Osculati

Stainless steel snap shackle with lock 8 mm Osculati (code 08.764.08)

The stainless steel snap shackle with pin Osculati is a hardware component designed to create quick and neat connections in nautical and plant engineering fields. This version is identified by code 08.764.08 and is distinguished by the presence of the locking bar, useful when a more controlled and stable attachment is desired compared to a standard snap shackle.

Made of AISI 316 micro-cast stainless steel, it is suitable for contexts where corrosion resistance and material reliability are important requirements. The format Ø 8 mm makes it suitable for many onboard and workshop applications, where ropes, cables, or accessories compatible with this section are used.

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

A stainless steel snap shackle is a versatile accessory, used when a quick connection between two elements is needed (for example, an anchor point and an accessory). The presence of the fermo can be useful in situations where it is preferable to limit unwanted movements or keep the attachment more “in place” during use.

• Deck fittings and equipment: quick connections on accessories and attachment points.
• Maintenance and organization on board: temporary hooks during interventions or arrangements.
• Plant engineering and hardware: connections between components where a quick release is useful.
• Accessories and equipment: use as a connecting element in non-permanent systems.

Choosing the size Ø 8 mm is recommended when working with components compatible with this section and the declared dimensions (A and L).

Advantages

This model combines the practicality of the snap mechanism with a design oriented towards stainless steel marine hardware. Without replacing a correct sizing of the overall system, it can be a functional solution for many onboard configurations.

• AISI 316 material: typical choice for marine environments and exposed applications.
• Investment casting: manufacturing aimed at good finish and piece continuity.
• Quick snap: allows practical connections and releases during use.
• Locking bar: supports a more controlled attachment compared to the standard variant.
• Clear dimensional data: useful to verify dimensions and compatibility with the installation.

Use and notes

For correct use, it is advisable to always verify that dimensions and declared are consistent with the intended application and with the other elements of the connection (ropes, cables, thimbles, rings, plates). In particular:

• Check that the element to be hooked fits within the useful opening and dimensions (20 mm and 64 mm for this version).
• Check that the snap mechanism you work freely and that the locking bar is correctly positioned during use.
• In the presence of salt or dirt, perform periodic cleaning to maintain smoothness and functionality of the movement.
• In case of frequent use or harsh conditions, schedule regular visual inspections (wear, deformations, non-smooth snap).

If you are comparing multiple variants of the same series (for example other diameters or the standard version), refer to the code 08.764.08 to precisely identify this configuration Ø 8 mm with latch.
