Clamcleats® for Rope 3/8" - 5/8" (10-16mm)
Aluminum
The Clamcleat® Principle
A deceptively simple, ridged "V" groove holds ropes firmly, yet it's devoid of any moving parts to break or seize. It allows the immediate release of the rope by a short upward and backward pull. Always tension the rope before it enters the cleat. Dragging the rope backwards over the teeth may cause damage, especially to the nylon cleats.
Aluminum cleats are highly successful in providing a complete answer to rope burn. They are unaffected by the heat generated by a rope surging back through a cleat, and they are suitable for sub-zero temperatures. Corrosion resistance is good. Clamcleat's® research into cleat materials over the years has shown aluminum to be far better for high-performance cleats than any polymer, irrespective of any fibre reinforcement or additive. These factors make aluminum cleats the best choice for demanding applications.
Fitting
These cleats are provided with countersunk fixing holes. Countersunk head screws or bolts of the recommended size should be used, bolts being preferred. Fastenings must be entered straight so that the heads do not protrude to snag the rope.
Note: Clamcleat® rope cleats are unsuitable for use with metal ropes.
