Galvanised Link Chain, 25 kg Bag

Galvanised link chain sold by the bag, in seven sizes running from 1/8 in up to 5/8 in (16 mm). It is the plain welded link chain kept behind most hardware counters, and the galvanised finish is what buyers ask for when the chain is going to live outside rather than in a workshop.

It goes on gates and padlocks, across yard entrances, on water tank stands and fencing, tethering livestock, and hanging signboards and light fittings. Farms, schools, contractors, security firms and hardware retailers are the buyers, and most take two or three sizes at a time and cut to length on site, keeping the thin sizes for hanging work and the thick ones for gates.

Seven sizes are available, and the supplier lists the 5/8 in (16 mm) at 25 kg to a bag. No working load limit or breaking strain is published for this chain, so keep it to gates, fencing and general securing work — for lifting, hoisting or anything carried overhead, ask for a chain sold with rated figures and confirm them before ordering.
