What This Product Is For
The G402 chain swivel, also known as the regular swivel, is forged from high-grade carbon steel and heat treated for tensile strength.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared with G403 jaw end chain swivel
The G402 eye and jaw form suits mixed hardware, the G403 jaw end is for direct chain to chain connection
Compared with A fixed connecting link
A link holds the assembly rigid while the swivel lets the load rotate, which is what stops twist building up
How To Use And Maintain It
- Position the swivel where rotation is introduced into the assembly
- Use a swivel rated for rotation under load if the load will turn while suspended
- Inspect for free rotation as part of routine checks
- Keep marine swivels rinsed and greased to avoid seizing
What We Need From You To Quote
- Size or diameter, and the grade if it is specified
- Quantity and packing format
- Surface finish for the environment it works in
- Classification society, if a certificate is required
- Destination port for freight
