Product Details
The kit meets the performance requirements of federal specifications FF-T-791B, type 1, form 1, class 8, and ASTM F-1145, excluding those provisions required of the contractor. The end fittings are either quenched and tempered or normalized, while the bodies are heat treated by normalizing. The hot-dip galvanized steel turnbuckle eyes are designed as forged elongated to facilitate easy attachment in the system and minimize stress in the eye. For turnbuckle sizes ranging from 1/4" to 2-1/2", a shackle one size smaller can be reeved through the eye. The forged jaw ends are equipped with bolts and nuts for sizes 1/4" - 5/8", and pins and cotter for sizes 3/4" through 2-3/4". The modified UNJ thread on end fittings enhances fatigue properties, while the body features UNC threads. These turnbuckles are recommended for straight or in-line pull only, with optional lock nuts available for added security.
