Fasteners and Connectors FAQ

Turnbuckles, hose clamps, wire-rope clips, screws and flanges must match the system in geometry, interface, material and load.

Do not select by appearance alone; verify standard size, thread, bore, mating rope/tube size, grade and corrosion environment.

Provide standard or drawing, interface dimensions, thread, bore, overall size and tolerances.

Inspection may cover dimensions, threads, finish, assembly, material and required load tests; safety use follows project standards.

Common in rigging, hose retention, equipment assembly, construction, marine and hardware connections.

Provide product type, standard or drawing, material, quantity, working load and environment.
