Stainless steel connector for 6-8 mm chain – code: 01.220.01 – Osculati

Stainless steel joint for 6-8 mm chain Osculati (code 01.220.01)

The stainless steel joint for 6-8 mm chain Osculati, code 01.220.01, is a component designed for the connection between chain and ancora in the nautical field. Its peculiarity is the manufacture without protrusions, a practical solution when you want to reduce the typical snags of traditional connections (such as some swivels) during recovery maneuvers.

Made of AISI 316 stainless steel, it is indicated for mooring and anchoring applications where a neat and clean connection is sought, with attention to the passage of the chain and anchor through the bow roller.

Features and construction details

This joint is designed to perform a simple but crucial function: to join chain and anchor in a more linear way compared to solutions with protruding elements. During retrieval, the “flush” geometry can help make the passage at the bow smoother.

Material

• AISI 316 stainless steel

Protrusion-free design

• Joint without protrusions to connect the chain to the anchor
• Designed to facilitate climbing through the bow roller of chain and anchor
• Helps to reduce the problem of the traditional shackle that can get caught

Dimensional compatibility (chain)

• For chain Ø 6/8

Dimensional references (as per datasheet)

For those who need to check clearances and passages, the following reference dimensions are available:

• B: 10
• C: 7
• L: 16
• G: 22
• P: 9
• H: 90

Product identification

• Brand / supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 01.220.01
• SKU: OSCU00000062

Typical applications (nautical)

The joint is suitable for use in systems where anchoring the connection between chain and anchor must be as smooth as possible, especially when the anchoring line is retrieved and must properly return to the bow area.

Where it is used

• Connection chain–anchor on pleasure boats and nautical applications
• Systems where passage through the bow roller is a critical point
• Situations where it is desired to limit snagging due to protruding components

Operational advantages

Why choose a joint without protrusions

• Neater passage at the return point at the bow, thanks to a profile designed to reduce catches
• Lower chance of snagging compared to traditional links that can “catch” during retrieval
• Clean solution for those who want a dedicated connection between chain and anchor

Material choice

• AISI 316 stainless steel: material commonly used in the nautical field for exposed components

Usage and important notes

For proper use, it is good practice to always check the compatibility of the joint with your chain and anchor, as well as the clearances at the passage point (bow roller). The dimensions provided can be useful for a preliminary check, especially when space is limited or when you want to optimize the movement of the anchor/chain assembly.

Verification tips before installation

• Check that the chain is actually Ø 6/8
• Evaluate the space requirements in relation to the bow roller and the chain path
• Verify that the connection to the anchor is consistent with your anchoring system configuration

Note

The information provided describes the product based on the available data: stainless steel AISI 316 joint without protrusions to connect the chain to the anchor, designed to facilitate retrieval through the bow roller and avoid the typical snags of the traditional shackle.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is this stainless steel joint for chain used for?

It is used to connect the chain to the anchor with a joint without protrusions, designed to facilitate the ascent through the bow roller and avoid the typical snagging of the traditional shackle.

For which chain size is the 01.220.01 model indicated?

This model is indicated for Ø 6/8 chain.

What material is the joint made of?

The joint is made of AISI 316 stainless steel.

Why is it defined as “without protrusions”?

Because it is designed with a geometry that reduces protruding elements, thus limiting points where the connection could snag during chain and anchor retrieval.

What data can I use to check the bulk?

Reference dimensions are available: B 10, C 7, L 16, G 22, P 9, H 90. These measurements help to evaluate the bulk at the passage point, for example near the bow roller.
