Description
Overview:
The Straining Screw - 16 mm (Hook/Hook) is a robust inline tensioning device for adjusting and maintaining tension in wire rope, rope, and chain systems across construction, landscaping, and garden settings. Built from strong steel with a central take-up body and hooks at both ends, it connects quickly to eye bolts, rings, and anchor points without permanent fixings. The 16 mm diameter (approximately 0.63 inches) offers dependable adjustment capacity for bracing, guying, and securing tasks on fencing, gates, tarpaulin covers, site barriers, and machinery installations. The hook-to-hook layout is ideal when a removable, non-permanent connection is preferred, allowing you to set, fine-tune, and re-tension lines with minimal tools while maintaining stability and control.
Key Features:
- 16 mm diameter (approximately 0.63 inches) for strong, secure tensioning
- Hook/Hook ends for fast connection and removal without additional shackles
- Opposed threads provide smooth, precise adjustment by rotating the body
- Robust steel construction for long service life in demanding environments
- Works with wire rope thimbles, chains, ropes, eye bolts, and rings
- Practical for outdoor and indoor use on site or at home
- Simple to install and re-tension; minimal tools required
- Helps maintain line stability, reducing slack and movement
- Reusable and serviceable component for repeat adjustments
- Safety friendly practice: confirm working load and avoid lifting use unless appropriately rated
Typical Applications:
Tensioning garden fencing or trellis wires, bracing gates and posts, guying small masts or pergolas, securing tarpaulins, nets, and covers on trailers, skips, and machinery, stabilising temporary site barriers, and adjusting rope or cable runs where a hookable, adjustable link is needed.
Also known as:
Turnbuckle, tensioner, wire rope tensioner, rigging screw, bottle screw, hook-to-hook rigging screw, line strainer, wire tension screw. These terms are commonly used in construction, agricultural, and marine rigging for adjustable, non-permanent connections that provide fine take-up and reliable tension control.
