Frequently Asked Questions
What is a split distance piece used for?
A split distance piece is used in marine rigging to maintain a fixed gap between components such as shackles, turnbuckles, and wire rope terminals. This prevents unwanted metal contact and keeps the assembly properly aligned.
How is a split distance piece installed?
The two halves of the split design are placed around the pin, bolt, or shaft and secured in position. This allows installation without fully dismantling the rigging, saving time and reducing downtime.
What materials are available?
We offer AISI 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and hot-dip galvanized steel for economical performance. Both options are suitable for marine environments.
How do I select the right size?
Measure the diameter of the pin or bolt the spacer will fit over and the required separation distance. Choose a split distance piece with an inner diameter matching your pin and the appropriate overall length.
