Danforth Galvanized Anchor Chain with Shackles, 5/16 in x 6 ft (95135)

Brand:
Danforth
Part no:
95135

A 6 ft length of 5/16 in galvanized chain; the item includes two 5/16 in shackles, and Danforth lists the item at a working load of 1,900 lb. Danforth's page names no grade for it, so before running any chain through a windlass, find it in the windlass maker's gypsy table: Maxwell says chain not matched to the chainwheel can jump off the gypsy or jam in the chain pipe.

Our take

Worth it if you want a short length of 5/16 in galvanized chain with two anchor shackles already included, so you skip buying shackles separately. Danforth gives 1,900 lb working load but no chain grade, so check your windlass maker's table before relying on it with a gypsy. Skip it if you run a windlass and need a stated grade.
