TEMCo's turnbuckle in the open body style offers a strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel capable of withstanding thousands of pounds of force. When used as standing rigging on a sailboat, the open body style allows for a visual inspection before you go offshore, even for a short passage. It also allows for easy application of your favorite lubricant to ensure your rigging stays tuned and lasts for many passages and years.
Our turnbuckle comes in a 5/16" thread diameter (marked on the turnbuckle) and a 8.61" body length. The entire turnbuckle, including its 0.24" 316 stainless steel clevis pin on both jaw ends, are capable of handling a Min Breaking force, or working load limit, of 3100lbs. Safe working load depends on application, and even orientation of the shackle under load.
Our turnbuckles are also marked "316" to indicate the stainless steel type, as well as "L" and "R" to conveniently indicate which direction the body must be rotated to tighten the turnbuckle screws. These markings will also allow a consistent installation of stays on your sailboat so that turnbuckles will always tighten and loosen when turned in the same direction of your choosing.
