Straight link coil chain is an excellent general-purpose low-carbon steel welded utility chain that is easily identified by its longer link design. This chain is manufactured to NACM standards. Each link is proof tested twice, and the break load is four times the Safe Working Load (design factor of 4:1). It is recommended for applications that do not require high strength-to-weight ratios. It is typically used for tailgates, barrier guards, swing sets, hanging light fixtures, and animal chains. The chain is zinc-plated for a bright, attractive finish with moderate corrosion resistance. Do not use for overhead lifting. Never exceed the Safe Working Load of 520 lb. This 3/16 in chain is sold by the foot, in-store only. An associate in any Home Depot Store can assist with cutting this chain to your desired length.
