Ultra Flip Swivel

The Ultra Marine Flip Swivel is a superb piece of marine design and engineering, culminating in a one-piece anchor connector solution that requires no additional shackles.

Included in the Box:
Flip Swivel, Hook Brake, appropriate size Allen keys

Ultra Flip Swivel Specification:

• Manufactured from 316 stainless steel by Ultra Marine Anchors in the Czech Republic
• Manufacturer 3-year warranty
• Individually stamped on the body with the manufacturer break load
• Designed so that the breaking strain exceeds that of a typical anchor chain of the same size
• Allows 360-degree swivelling and also 30 degrees of articulation
• One-piece body with a flipping nub ensures the anchor is always retrieved in the correct plane.
• Hexagonal head locking bolt - does not require any further security measures 

Ultra Flip Swivel Facts, Features and Plus Factors:

One Piece Solution: The CNC (computer numeric control) machined one-piece body and head (with integral spherical ball) ensures maximum strength

Universal - suitable for most anchor designs, not just the Ultra anchor

Semi-Spherical Ball: Self-cleaning and allows 360-degree rotation

Hexagonal Head Bolts: Ensures the locking bolt is 100% secure and cannot release itself accidentally - Allen keys for other end supplied

TEFLON* O-Ring: the internal ring stops metal friction occurring when under load, providing low resistance and smooth operation

Flipping Nub: If the anchor is recovered upside down, the flip nub will assist the anchor to right itself onto the roller correctly

Rounded Corners: prevent potential damage to the deck or injury to the crew

Throat Opening: The aperture is specifically designed to fit the chain size

Specifications: The swivel chain size and the breaking strength are recorded on the rear side of the swivel

Warranty: All ULTRA Swivels are supplied with a standard five-year warranty 

Ultra Flip Swivel = RINA certified

ULTRA Flip Swivel Selection Guide

The slim profile provides an excellent solution for unfettered access through narrow stemheads and/or bow rollers.

Ultra Flip Swivel - Extra Strength Pin Design
Ultra employs a larger pin than usual and adapts it to fit through the end link of your anchor chain for maximum tensile load performance.
The pin starts larger than usual but has machined flat sides to allow it to fit lengthways in the end link of the chain; see picture and chart below.
The pin is fixed in the swivel in the correct orientation to take the load.

Ultra Marine Advisory - Ultra Flip Swivel on anchors from a different manufacturer:

The Ultra Flip Swivel should fit any other anchor model with a connecting hole in the shank.
Please remember that most traditional anchors have slots instead of holes on their shanks.
Due to the potential longitudinal movement, you may encounter issues with the flip swivel when connected to a slot in the shank (rather than a hole).

If you want to prevent this rare problem from occurring, you should make a minor modification to block the unnecessary void in the slot.

Ultra Marine Flip Swivel Installation Guide

5.2. While inserting the chain into the small end/throat of the Ultra

Marine FLIP SWIVEL, the pin MUST be inserted parallel to the

Main Axis. The pins and setscrews of the small Ultra Marine FLIP

SWIVELs (particularly #6 & #8) should not be forced as this can

cause damage. Ultra Marine FLIP SWIVEL pins and setscrews are

not affected by anchor and chain movements when installed

correctly. Apply normal force when tightening the setscrews.

(Picture P2; link 5.2.)

5.3. Insert the pins and setscrews on the large end/throat through

the anchor eye (Picture P1; link 5.3.)

5.4. Once the anchor eye is inserted into the large end/throat of the

Ultra Marine FLIP SWIVEL: the correct orientation is for the rear

bridge to marry to the top of the anchor. The Ultra Marine FLIP

SWIVEL must be orientated this way to function correctly and

permit the anchor to flip into the proper position/orientation on

your bow roller. (Picture 1; Link 5.4.)

5.5. For extra safety, use a thread-locking compound on the retaining

setscrews

6. Ultra Marine FLIP SWIVEL Maintenance

6.1. We recommend inspecting the Ultra Marine FLIP SWIVEL visually

at least once per year (more often if the anchor is in constant use).

6.2. We strongly recommend using a stainless steel chain with the

Ultra Marine FLIP SWIVEL. If a galvanised chain is used, corrosion

of the chain might appear.

6.3. No Ultra Marine liability can be accepted for any unauthorized or

inappropriate installation or use of Ultra Marine products.
