Description

Our H173 shackle is a reliable alternative to traditional S-hooks. When you need a wider opening, these shackles are the perfect solution. The bolts are 3/8″ in diameter and the overall length of the shackle is 3 9/16″. The smaller opening measures ½” across, while the larger opening measures 1 1/16″. Unlike S-hooks, these shackles can be reused multiple times, making them a more sustainable option.

To open and close the H173 shackle, you will need the H175 wrench (not included). This shackle features a head on the bolt that makes it much more difficult to remove, deterring vandalism. With a shackle hardness of 212 HBS and bolt hardness of 176 HBS, this shackle has a tensile strength of 9491 lbs.

In terms of durability, the H173 shackle should last up to 5 years in optimal conditions and up to 2 years in harsh conditions. Please note that some conditions may require replacement sooner.

These shackles are easy to install and are much stronger than S-hooks. In fact, some cities and parks are now requiring their use instead of S-hooks. Use the H173 shackle with our swing hangers, Tire Swing, and chain (excluding C128 – C129 chains) for a reliable and safe play experience.
