5/16″ Forged Jaw & Jaw Stainless Steel Turnbuckle – Type 316

This forged jaw and jaw turnbuckle is constructed from Type 316 stainless steel for superior durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Drop forged for enhanced strength, it closely matches the performance of galvanized turnbuckles while offering the added benefits of stainless steel. Featuring a U.S. type hex body, it meets ASTM F1145-92 Type 1, Class H dimensional standards.

Please Note: Turnbuckles are intended for straight or in-line pulls only. Loading at an angle will significantly reduce capacity and may result in failure.
