M8 Fork Terminal, 316 Stainless Steel - FTEA4M8X5MM

The Fork Terminal, 316 Stainless Steel is available in 4 sizes (M5 to M10) and is a stainless swage fitting with a fork (jaw) end. The other end is swaged onto wire rope.

Supplied in 316 (A4) stainless steel. The molybdenum in A4 gives better resistance to chlorides than A2 (304), so it is the usual choice near the coast, around pools and in marine and food-processing environments.

You can choose from 4 variants, covering sizes M5 to M10. Pack quantities depend on size: packs of 2 to 10.

In wet conditions, keep stainless steel apart from aluminium and galvanised steel with a washer or sleeve, to reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion.
