6.0mm standard oval-shaped stainless steel quick link. Suitable for attaching a solo reserve parachute to the harness where the reserve, bridles and harness have narrow attachment points e.g. lightweight harness, lightweight reserve, Dyneema reserve bridles. Not suitable for wider attachment points as will squash up material, potentially weakening it. Can be used for the single point attachment between the solo harness and the reserve, or attaching the two harness reserve shoulder straps to the two ends of the reserve bridles (using two maillons).
Full specifications can be found on the Peguet Maillon Rapide website.
NOTE: Steel maillons are stamped with a "Working Load Limit" (WLL) corresponding to 20% of their minimum breaking strength (BL). The WLL is the maximum load the manufacturer guarantees will not deform the maillons, allowing opening of the screw closure with fingers.
WARNING: When using steel maillons, double-check and triple-check that they are screwed shut properly as part of every pre-flight check. Tightening should be done with fingers. A spanner may be used carefully, just give them a 'nip'. Threadlock compound or liquid is not recommended.
