U3 Anchor Chain
Stud link chain is normally supplied in the grades U2 and U3.
Most stud link chain is used on larger vessels and is rarely available in sizes under 12.5mm diameter.
Stud link chain is normally supplied in 'shot lengths' (27.5mtrs long) which can then be joined together using a Kenter shackle. Black bitumastic paint or galvanised finishes are available.
Continuous lengths can be made to order with optional extras ie open end links, welded swivel assemblies, D type anchor shackles.
