Stainless steel recessed hex key toggle latch Ø 14 – code: 01.081.14 – Osculati

Stainless steel bow shackle with recessed hex key pin Ø 14 Osculati (code 01.081.14)

The toggle latch with recessed pin is a hardware component designed for nautical applications where reliable connections and compact size are needed. This Osculati version is made of AISI 316 stainless steel and features a hex key tightening, practical solution when a cleaner profile is desired compared to traditional pins with protruding heads.

The distinctive feature of the “recessed” model is its ability to facilitate the passage of the anchor in bow rollers reducing the possibility of the connection jamming: a useful detail in maneuvers and anchor line management, especially when smoothness and order at the bow are sought.

Features and construction details

Material: stainless steel AISI 316

The shackle is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, , a typical choice in marine environments for its suitability for use in the presence of moisture and salt spray. It is suitable for installations and replacements on boats and onboard systems where the hardware is exposed to external agents.

Harp shape and recessed pin

The harp shape offers a wide connection opening and is suitable for many attachment configurations. The recessed pin helps to limit protrusions and unwanted attachment points, a useful aspect when the shackle works near components such as the bow roller or other metal parts of the bow.

Allen key tightening

The pin with Allen key cut allows for neat and controlled tightening, with a cleaner aesthetic and fewer protruding elements. It is a solution appreciated in the nautical field when you want to reduce the risk of snagging and maintain a more compact line.

Product size

• Diameter (Ø): 14
• Osculati Code: 01.081.14

Note: the Ø size identifies the shackle size. For the correct choice, it is good practice to check the dimensions and fit with other components (anchor, chain, attachments, and bow roller) according to the system's needs.

Typical onboard applications

This shackle is designed for uses of nautical hardware and, in particular, for connections where smoothness and the absence of protrusions are important.

Anchor and anchor line connection

The shackle with recessed pin is suitable for use with the anchor because it allows the anchor to fit into the bow rollers without jamming. In practice, it helps reduce snagging during retrieval and stowage, contributing to smoother maneuver management.

Deck hardware and connections

The harp shape and Allen key tightening also make it suitable for general onboard connections where a stainless steel component and a more compact profile are desired. In maintenance and refitting, it can be a useful choice when replacing worn or no longer suitable shackles for the current configuration.

Usage and selection notes

Verification of fittings

Before installation, it is advisable to check that the size Ø 14 is consistent with the components to be connected and with the available spaces on the bow fitting. In particular, check that the shackle works without interference and that the anchor can properly fit back into its seat.

Installation and periodic check

In the nautical field, it is good practice to carry out periodic checks of hardware subject to loads and vibrations. The Allen screw tightening facilitates assembly/disassembly operations during routine maintenance, while maintaining a compact size.
