A Jaw & Jaw Swivel with Hexagon Socket (often called an Allen key flush pin swivel) is a premium rigging connector designed to allow two independent lines, chains, or components to rotate a full 360 degrees.
Why Use a Hexagon Socket/Flush Pin?
Standard jaw swivels use protruding clevis pins or cotter pins to lock the jaws into place.
The hexagon socket variation uses a flush pin that screws completely flat into the body using an Allen key. This provides critical field benefits:
No-Snag Design: Eliminates any protruding bolts or nuts, ensuring lines, sails, clothing, or fishing nets don't get caught on the hardware.
Tamper & Vibration Resistance: Because it requires an Allen wrench to loosen, the pin is much less likely to vibrate loose or unwind under twisting friction compared to standard screw pins.
Compact Profiling: The ultra-slim, streamlined frame passes smoothly through tight fairleads, bow rollers, and blocks.
Materials & Intended
Use Marine-Grade Stainless Steel (A4 / AISI 316): Almost all flush-pin swivels are forged or precision-cast from marine-grade 316 stainless steel. This grants maximum resistance against harsh saltwater corrosion.
Important Safety Limitation: While these components boast incredibly high minimum breaking strengths (frequently thousands of kilograms), they are primarily manufactured for marine mooring, architectural tensioning, and shade sails. They are not certified or rated for overhead industrial crane lifting.
