Please note that Jimmy Green Marine does not recommend joining chain where the connection is load critical or a matter of safety.
Crosby C Links are available in 5/16" and 3/8" - Please note that these are American imperial sizes.
Crosby G335 link - One joining link may (this is not guaranteed) run successfully through an anchoring gypsy.
The 3/8 link fits onto the end link of a 10mm DIN766 and a 10mm ISO4565 calibrated chain.
The 5/16 link may need some fiddling to get it to fit onto the end link of some 8mm calibrated galvanised chain.
The 5/16 Crosby link may not suit some makes of 8mm DIN766 calibrated anchor chain because it is physically slightly bigger than an 8mm DIN766 calibrated link - This may cause articulation issues.
Chain links can be used to join lengths of chain but cannot be considered as reliable as a new length of chain.
It is extremely important to check regularly for signs of damage, rust and wear.
