Wichard 1404W Captive Pin D Shackle Stainless Steel Shackles - 8mm 5/16 316L

The Wichard 1404W is a captive pin D shackle forged from grade 316L stainless steel, delivering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance for demanding marine and rigging applications.

• Forged 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in saltwater environments
• Captive pin remains connected to the shackle body at all times, even when opened
• Self-locking pin seats into precision indentations on the shackle body, preventing accidental release due to vibration or shock loads
• Single-handed operation for safe and efficient use even in challenging conditions
• Outstanding working and breaking loads relative to shackle size
• CE marked — WLL rated for industrial lifting applications
• Pin diameter: 8mm (5/16")

Wichard captive pin D shackles are a trusted choice for sailboat rigging, block attachments, halyard connections, and general marine hardware where security and reliability are critical. The self-locking captive pin mechanism provides peace of mind that the shackle will not come undone unintentionally, making it ideal for use aloft or in high-vibration environments.
