Spring Gate Clamcleat® for Rope 1/4" - 5/8" (6-16mm)
Nylon
The red gate is flipped up by hand to keep the rope out of the cleat.
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.
Marine-grade nylon cleats offer very good value for money, for both sailor and production builder alike. They are ideal for most applications where high loads or rope surges are not likely to be encountered. Nylon cleats are corrosion resistant and will last for many years outdoors.
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.
