Galvanized-steel oval connector with triplex twist-lock gate, ideal in harsh environments and particularly recommended to set up anchors or for use with large-section devices (e.g. pulleys, ascenders and mobile fall arresters, etc.). Main characteristics: symmetrical shape and optimal radius for rope insertion; high strength, which allows the connector to be used as a carabiner for progression; equipped with catch-free closure for effortless clipping. -
The KL321 combines the specification of an Oval with that of a 'D' shape Carabiner. True Ovals are not capable of achieving high breaking loads, as their symmetrical shape shares the load between the spine and the gate of the Carabiner. The weakest part of any Carabiner is the gate and so wherever possible, designers will try to bias the load toward the spine of the Carabiner. This is why 'D' shape Carabiners (typically) give the highest breaking loads.
