Related pages
These pages cover the same job from a different angle.
Pick the profile by how the link sits in the assembly — oval for general use, delta where it must lie flat, pear where one end needs a larger opening.
Match the steel grade and finish to the environment; electro-galvanized suits indoor and general use, hot-dip galvanized is for outdoor and marine.
Quick links are for connecting and securing, not for overhead lifting unless the grade and marking say so.
Applications
Pet and livestock securingKey rings and general hardwareLight chain connectionsField chain repairDisplay and fixture hangingDIY and fencing
Safety & use notes
Close the screw gate fully and check it cannot back off.
Do not use a deformed or thread-damaged link.
Confirm the working load limit marked on the link before use.

Types & standards
Types & standards
Oval / round quick linkThe common connecting link for light chain, pet leads, key rings and general securing where a closed loop is needed.
Delta (triangular) quick linkTriangular profile with a wider base, used where the link must sit flat or bear load on two sides.
Pear-shaped quick linkAsymmetric profile giving a larger opening on one end; used where one side needs to pass a bulkier fitting.
Long wide-jaw quick linkExtended jaw increases the clear opening for thicker chain or multiple attachments.
Repair / lap linkOpenable link used to join or repair a length of chain in the field.
Manufacturing
How it is made
Components in this group are produced by the route that suits the part — forging for load-bearing items, forming or machining for the rest.
Threads, bores and bearing surfaces are machined and gauged.
Assemblies are put together and checked for movement where they have moving parts.
Surface treatment is applied, then a final visual and dimensional check before packing.
What to check on receipt
The part matches the drawing or sample it was ordered against.
Threads and bores are clean and within tolerance.
No cracks, distortion or sharp edges at the load-bearing points.
FAQ
FAQ
What is the difference between an oval and a delta quick link?
An oval quick link is a rounded loop for general connecting; a delta (triangular) link has a flat base and is used where the link must sit flat or take load across two sides.
Are quick links suitable for lifting?
Standard quick links are for connecting and securing, not overhead lifting, unless the grade and marking specifically certify a lifting rating.
Which finish should I choose?
Electro-galvanized for indoor and general use; hot-dip galvanized where the link faces outdoor or marine exposure.
