Guilford, Connecticut (USA) – STA-LOK® stainless steel rigging hardware will be featured by rigging specialists Fawcett Marine Supplies, Mack Sails and Sparman USA at the 2014 United States Sailboat Show, October 9-13 at the City Dock in Annapolis, Maryland.

Precision engineered for reliability and performance, STA-LOK hardware is the choice of rigging professionals worldwide. The STA-LOK range of spreader end tip cups designed specifically for wire rope 12mm – 19mm. The easy to install stainless steel cups prevent thread galling.

The STA-LOK range also includes self-fit terminals, swage terminals, chrome bronze turnbuckles and stemball self-fit terminals.

STA-LOK self-fit terminals are the easiest and most efficient way to terminate 1 x 19, 7 x 7, 7 x 19 and Dyform wire ropes. Manufactured from rustproof, high strength 316 stainless steel, 100% stronger than the wire. Simple to install with basic hand tools. Available in imperial and metric wire sizes from 1/8” (3mm) to1” (26mm) for right and left hand lay wire.

STA-LOK swage terminals are available in a wide range of designs and can be used with all types of swaging machines. Manufactured to US military spec from rustproof 316 stainless steel grade 1.4401 and machined to close tolerances to ensure accurate termination. Available in imperial and metric wire sizes from 1/8” (3mm) to 1” (26mm).

STA-LOK chrome bronze turnbuckles, forged from high strength bronze, are 100% stronger than the wire rope. High polished chrome plate finish. Available in imperial and metric wire sizes from 1/8” (3mm) to 1” (26mm).

STA-LOK stemball self-fit terminals for terminating yacht shrouds. Using standard stemball cups (ordered separately), the head size of the reusable stemball self-fit terminal can be increased to fit any mast and spreader attachment.
