Professional Marine Hardware: RICHWITS 316 Stainless Steel Clam Cleat
Upgrade your vessel's rigging with the RICHWITS Clam Cleat, engineered from premium ASTM-grade 316 stainless steel. Unlike standard hardware, this cleat is precision-cast and mirror-polished to provide maximum resistance against saltwater pitting and oxidation.
- Superior Material: High-molybdenum 316 stainless steel alloy for extreme longevity in maritime environments.
- Precision Engineering: CNC machined for a non-slip grip that locks braided nylon or wire rope cables firmly in place.
- Gentle on Lines: The ultra-smooth mirror finish reduces friction, preventing premature wear and chafing on your expensive docking lines.
- Sleek Low-Profile: Modern minimalist design integrates seamlessly with contemporary boat decks and architectural wire railings.
Ideal for sailboats, powerboats, and coastal architectural applications, this 2.5-inch jam cleat ensures stability and safety under load.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this cleat rust when used in saltwater environments?
- No. This cleat is manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, which contains molybdenum. This specific alloy is far superior to standard 304 stainless, providing exceptional resistance to pitting and corrosion even in continuous saltwater exposure.
- Does the mirror finish make the rope more likely to slip?
- On the contrary. While the exterior is mirror-polished to protect your lines from abrasion, the internal jam-cleat geometry is precision-engineered to create a mechanical lock on braided lines, providing a secure, non-slip grip under tension.
- What size rope is best suited for the 2-1/2 inch model?
- The 2-1/2 inch model (ZB0204-2.5) is optimized for lighter lines typically used in small craft or for securing covers and fenders, performing best with rope diameters between 1/8" and 1/4".
