This Suncor chain is 5/16" 316L stainless steel anchor chain with BBB dimensions and a 2400 lb working load limit. It is stronger than galvanized BBB chain of the same size, at roughly 125 to 135% of its rating. The chain meets the European DIN 766 standard, and it fits most common windlass gypsies.
Our take
A 2400 lb working load limit in 5/16 chain with BBB dimensions is the headline figure, and the 316L stainless is put at roughly 125 to 135% of galvanized BBB strength. It is said to fit most common windlass gypsies, but confirm yours first.
From our buying guide
Size and grade do not fix the link, so a chain of the right size can still fail to fit a windlass. Maxwell says chain not matched to the chainwheel can jump off the gypsy or jam in the chain pipe.
Check before you buy:
- Your windlass maker's gypsy table lists your chain by its standard or label, since those labels aren't interchangeable.
- The pitch matches, which Maxwell calls the most important measurement for chainwheel fit.
- Working load limits are compared within one maker's table, and you've checked the design factor.
