Double eye stainless steel swivel + swivel d. 10 – code: 01.429.02 – Osculati

Stainless steel swivel with double eye shackle + shackle d. 10 (Osculati 01.429.02)

The double eye stainless steel swivel in version shackle + shackle Osculati (supplier code 01.429.02) is a hardware component designed for connections that require freedom of rotation and a practical coupling via shackles. Made of AISI 316 stainless steel with finish mirror polished, is suitable for typical uses in the nautical field and onboard systems, where the choice of materials and the care of finishes are important for integration with the rest of the hardware.

This swivel is forged, , a feature that makes it suitable for uses where a robust and reliable construction over time is sought, respecting the correct installation methods and periodic checks of the connection line.

Features and construction details

Material and finish

• AISI 316 stainless steel.
• Mirror polishing for a neat appearance consistent with onboard stainless steel hardware.

Configuration: shackle + shackle

The version shackle + shackle allows quick connections to be made on both ends, facilitating assembly with elements equipped with eyelets, rings, chains, or terminals compatible with shackles. The swivel is designed to allow rotation between the two ends, helping to reduce twisting of the connected line (depending on the application and correct assembly).

Forged construction

The swivel is forged and described as very sturdy. This type of construction is commonly chosen for connecting components subject to frequent stresses and movements, for example in maneuvers and mooring.

Dimensions (selected variant)

The following dimensional references are available for this configuration:

• A: 113
• B: 20
• C: 22
• D: 10

Note: the dimensions are reported as per variant selection. Always check the clearance and coupling with existing components before installation.

Typical applications

The Osculati stainless steel swivel is suitable for various uses of nautical hardware and onboard connections, where rotation between two elements can be useful to manage movements and torsions of the line.

• Buoys: connections between rope/chain and attachment point, where rotation can help manage the orientation of the dead body or the line.
• Halyards: uses on maneuvers and redirects where a swivel joint can be practical depending on the equipment configuration.
• Anchor chains: uses in line with connections that require a swiveling element, depending on the setup and installed components.
• General connections in onboard systems and hardware: where you want to join two elements with shackles and maintain some freedom of rotation.

Advantages in use

AISI 316 stainless steel for nautical contexts

The adoption of AISI 316 makes this swivel a typical choice for marine environments and onboard applications, combined with chains, shackles, and stainless steel accessories of the same material family.

Mirror polished finish

The mirror polishing offers a professional and uniform appearance, useful when the hardware is visible or when aesthetic continuity with other installed stainless steel components is desired.

Practical connection with shackles

The configuration shackle + shackle is convenient during assembly and maintenance: it allows disassembling and reassembling the line without invasive interventions, depending on the accessibility of the attachment points and the correct choice of connected components.

Forged construction

The construction forged is a distinctive element for those looking for a swivel described as robust and suitable for typical uses such as buoys, halyards, and anchor chains.

Usage and installation notes

Verification of fittings

Before installation, check:

• the dimensional compatibility with the elements to be connected (eyelets, rings, chain links, terminals);
• the space requirements in working position, considering any rotations and movements;
• that the shackles work correctly without interference with other components.

Assembly and maintenance

In nautical applications, it is good practice to perform periodic checks of the hardware (tightening, wear, deformations, sliding of the rotating part) and replace components when necessary. In case of doubts about the choice of the swivel or the sizing of the line, it is advisable to consult a technician or the installer.
