Metallics QL516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size chain does the Metallics QL516 rapid link connect?
The QL516 is a 5/16 inch rapid link, sized to join 5/16 inch chain. The threaded sleeve screws closed over the link body so two chain ends, or a chain end and an eye or anchor, can be coupled without a tool beyond a wrench to snug the sleeve.
2) How many rapid links come in a box of Metallics QL516?
Each QL516 pack holds 25 zinc plated rapid links. That is a single order quantity, so a contractor hanging multiple fixture drops or a maintenance crew stocking a shop gets enough for a run of openings rather than a single connection.
3) Is the Metallics QL516 rapid link suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The QL516 link is zinc plated, which is a general purpose corrosion finish for dry and protected interior use. For wet exterior runs, coastal exposure, or washdown areas, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized connector instead, since zinc plating on a threaded sleeve will eventually bloom and seize.
4) What is the difference between a rapid link and a standard chain quick link or snap hook?
A rapid link, the QL516 type, closes with a threaded barrel sleeve that you spin down over the gate, giving a positive mechanical closure that will not vibrate open the way a spring snap can. A snap hook is faster to connect and disconnect, so it suits temporary or frequently moved loads. For a permanent chain hung fixture, the threaded sleeve link is the one to use.
