Grade 3 forged-steel Kenter joining shackle, individually serialized and supplied with a valid American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) certificate (one certificate often covers a range of serial numbers).
Metric product — inch shown only to help you choose
Kenter shackles are manufactured in metric sizes only. This is the 22mm shackle. The 7/8" shown is the inch equivalent, included so buyers working from an old imperial chain or specification can find the right part — it is not a separate imperial-made size. If your application calls for 7/8", the correct metric kenter is 22mm.
Not sure of your size? Measure one chain link's overall length on-line and divide by 6 to get the nominal metric size, or send us a photo with measurements and we'll confirm.
