INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS

Proper Installation

When installing the US Type Stainless Steel Swaged Turnbuckle or Jaw Swage Turnbuckle, ensure that both ends are securely attached to your rigging system. Use the correct pins and fittings and make sure everything is properly tightened. Stick to the recommended torque values to avoid damaging the components or risking safety.

Regular Inspections

It’s important to inspect the turnbuckle regularly, especially after heavy use. Look for any signs of wear, such as loose threads, rust, or cracks. By checking the turnbuckle frequently, you can catch small issues before they become bigger problems, ensuring your rigging system stays safe and reliable.

Avoid Over-Tightening

While it’s tempting to tighten the turnbuckle as much as possible, avoid over-tightening it. Too much force can damage the threads and put unnecessary strain on the rigging system. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the proper tension limits to keep everything working smoothly.

Corrosion Prevention

Even with AISI 316 stainless steel, you’ll still need to watch out for corrosion in harsh environments. For marine or outdoor use, consider cleaning and lubricating the turnbuckle periodically to help maintain its corrosion resistance. This extra step will extend the life of your turnbuckle and keep it in great shape.
