Stainless steel inset cetra latch screw d. 10 – code: 01.081.10 – Osculati

Recessed stainless steel bow shackle with Allen screw pin d. 10 (Osculati 01.081.10)

The toggle latch with recessed Allen screw pin is a hardware component designed for reliable connections in nautical and onboard system applications, where it is important to reduce bulk and protrusions. This version is made of AISI 316 stainless steel and is designed for use with the anchor: the recessed pin configuration helps maintain a cleaner and more functional profile during maneuvers.

Product Osculati S.r.l., supplier code 01.081.10, in the variant d. 10.

Features and construction details

This shackle belongs to the “lyre shackles” family, a shape appreciated when a wider internal clearance is needed compared to other geometries, maintaining a practical and neat connection. The pin with hex socket is recessed: a useful solution when you want to limit protruding parts that may interfere with nearby components or with passage over bow rollers and guides.

Material

• AISI 316 stainless steel.

Type

• Lyre shackle.
• Recessed pin with hex socket.

Size

• d. 10 (as indicated in the product name).

Codes and identification

• Osculati Code: 01.081.10

Recommended applications

The shackle is suitable for typical uses of nautical hardware and deck connections, especially where working with the anchor and bow fittings. The manufacturer's description highlights its usefulness in promoting the proper sliding of the anchor at the bow.

• Anchor connection (between anchor and chain/attachment, depending on the setup).
• Uses on bow rollers, where a cleaner profile can help avoid snagging.
• General connections of maintenance and equipment on board, when a non-protruding pin is preferred.

Practical advantages

• Recessed pin: reduces protrusions and contributes to a neater connection.
• Hex socket: allows tightening with a hex key, useful when you want to avoid external parts like wings or very protruding heads.
• Lyre shape: suitable when a wider internal clearance is needed for coupling with other elements (depending on the system configuration).
• AISI 316 stainless steel: material commonly chosen in marine environments for hardware components.

Use and notes

For correct use, it is good practice to verify that the shackle size is consistent with the elements to be connected (anchor, chain, attachments, and passages on the bow roller). The presence of the recessed Allen screw pin requires the use of an appropriate hex key for assembly and disassembly.

• Check that the shackle operates in line and without lateral forces, based on the geometry of the connection.
• Periodically check the condition of the pin and the correct closure, especially in applications subject to vibrations and usage cycles.
• If in doubt about the choice of the most suitable component, compare the configuration of your bow shackle/anchor and refer to the code 01.081.10 to exactly identify the version.

Note: The manufacturer's description indicates that these shackles allow the anchor to fit into the bow shackles without jamming; the actual result still depends on the anchor–chain–shackle assembly and the installation.
