C. Sherman Johnson LS-3170 Mini Gate Hook Over-Center Fitting with Splice Eye

The C. Sherman Johnson LS-3170 Mini Gate Hook with Splice Eye is a precision-engineered over-center lifeline fitting designed to work seamlessly with high-performance Dyneema/Spectra synthetic line. Purpose-built for sailors looking to upgrade from traditional stainless steel wire lifelines, this fitting offers a lightweight and line-friendly connection point.

C. Sherman Johnson's Splice Line series allows easy splicing of hi-tech Dyneema or Spectra line directly to standard lifeline hardware. The over-center locking gate mechanism ensures a secure, reliable closure, while the splice eye termination eliminates the need for swaged fittings or mechanical end terminals.
