Stainless steel links for 9-10 mm chain – code: 01.220.02 – Osculati

Osculati stainless steel joints for 9-10 mm chain (cod. 01.220.02)

The stainless steel joint for 9-10 mm chain Osculati (code 01.220.02) is a component designed for the connection between chain and ancora in the context of mooring and anchoring. Its particular feature is the construction without protrusions, a practical solution when you want to reduce the typical snags of traditional links and promote a smoother passage of the chain and anchor during maneuvers.

Made of AISI 316 stainless steel, it is suitable for nautical installations where a stainless steel accessory is sought for joining the anchoring line, with attention to smoothness at the transition point between chain and anchor.

Features and construction details

Joint in AISI 316 stainless steel

The joint is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, a material commonly chosen in the nautical field for components exposed to the marine environment. This choice makes it consistent with use on the bow and generally in areas subject to splashes and humidity.

Protrusion-free design

The configuration without protrusions is designed to:

• reduce the possibility that the connection snags during the ascent;
• facilitate passage through the bow roller;
• limit the typical problems of the traditional shackle, which can interfere with the geometry of the roller or with the chain.

Dimensional compatibility: chain Ø 9-10 mm

This model is dedicated to chain Ø 9-10 mm. For a correct choice, it is important to verify that the installed chain falls within this range and that the anchor and roller are consistent with the connection configuration.

Dimensions (values indicated for the 9/10 variant)

For the selected version 9/10, the following dimensions are reported:

• B: 13
• C: 11
• L: 19
• G: 29
• P: 11
• H: 115

Note: The dimensions are provided as a reference for the product size and can be useful for comparing clearances and passages (for example, at the bow roller).

Typical onboard applications

The Osculati stainless steel joint 01.220.02 is suitable for applications related to mooring and anchoring, especially when a connection between chain and anchor is desired to be even “cleaner” compared to solutions with protruding elements.

• Chain-anchor connection on pleasure boats and work units, where the recovery maneuver must remain orderly.
• Bow installations with the chain passing through the bow roller, where any protrusions can cause interference.
• Maintenance or refitting of the anchoring line, as an alternative to the traditional shackle when snags or difficulties in retrieval occur.

Operational advantages

Reduction of snags compared to the traditional shackle

The strength of this joint is the geometry without protrusions, which helps avoid situations where a shackle can “catch” or hit during retrieval. In practice, it can help make the recovery maneuver smoother, especially when chain and anchor need to return in an orderly manner.

More linear passage on the bow roller

During recovery, the transition between chain and anchor is a delicate moment: a connection with bulk or edges can create friction or interference. This joint is designed to facilitate the passage through the bow roller of the chain and anchor, reducing the typical criticalities of more “protruding” solutions.

Stainless steel solution for nautical use

The use of AISI 316 stainless steel makes the product consistent with use in a marine environment and with installation on anchoring components, where materials suitable for humidity and salt spray conditions are preferred.

Usage and notes for selection

Verification of the chain and bow system

Before purchase and installation, it is advisable to verify:

• that the chain is actually Ø 9-10 mm;
• that the bow roller and the anchor allow a smooth passage with the joint installed;
• that the space requirements are compatible with the configuration of your bow (the dimensions provided can help in comparison).

Installation and maintenance

As with all components of the anchoring line, it is good practice to carry out periodic checks of the connection's condition and any wear or deformation due to use. In case of doubts about correct installation, it is advisable to consult qualified personnel.
