Frequently Asked Questions
What is a split distance piece used for?
It is used to maintain correct spacing between two components in a rigging system, such as wire rope, turnbuckles, or chain plates. This prevents unwanted contact and ensures that loads are distributed evenly across the assembly.
Can it be installed without removing the existing hardware?
Yes, the split design allows the distance piece to be opened and placed around a pin, shaft, or bolt. You can retrofit it without completely dismantling the rigging, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime.
What materials are available for corrosive marine environments?
Our distance pieces are manufactured from A4 (316L) stainless steel, specifically for seawater resistance. This grade is non-magnetic and offers excellent pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, ideal for permanent shipboard or offshore use.
Are these distance pieces suitable for heavy-duty applications?
Yes, when sized correctly. The wall thickness and stainless steel grade provide high tensile strength, and the precision-machined split surfaces keep the piece stable under shock and vibration loads on deck.
