Product Description
Our commercial-grade large end 5/16 inch by 4-inch S-hooks are an essential component for any swing set. These S-hooks are compatible with all of our chains and are designed to fasten chain to swing hangers, as well as swing seats to help prevent binding. Our S-hooks are plated to help resist rust, ensuring a long-lasting performance.
It's important to note that S-hooks purchased from non-playground manufacturers may not have the same quality control standards and have been known to break easily, even with minimal use.
Tensile strength of 745lbs. Under optimal conditions, they should last up to 5 years, but please note that some conditions may require replacement sooner.
This is for children 0 - 12 years old only. Adults should supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged.
IMPORTANT: Please read for important information. In this material we have tried to provide some requirements stated in the CPSC Handbooks, ASTM F2373-11, F1487-11 and F1148-09. However, we in no way intend for this to be a complete list of requirements. Also these publications are updated frequently with changes therefore, you should read these publications yourself to determine if any part or installation could prove a danger to a child.
To help keep children safe from harm, review installation and maintenance instructions before installing equipment. Our website also has a "Product Testing Information" page. All products are tested for lead, phthalates and tensile strength.
Installation: Our parts are sold as either replacement parts or components of a set, unless you are buying our Metal Frame Set, therefore these parts need to be installed according to the sets installation instructions.
Make sure you are using correct size of S-hook. Closing S-hook should not crimp material producing a wear spot on whatever material you are attaching to S-hook. If this occurs, use a larger S-hook to extend life of product. Because S-hooks are often constructed of heavy-duty materials that can withstand significant weight, they are not easy to close. A pair of pliers designed for closing and opening S-hooks, such as our T100 is necessary. To close S-hooks: Put the S-hook in the front part of the large jaws and close the pliers' legs and the S-hook will close.Make sure all S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety standards. Close according to Fig A1.19 for Fastening Devices. To open S-hooks: Use the little jaws at the other end of the pliers' head. Put the top or outer jaw inside of the closed S-hook. Close the pliers' legs and the S-hook should open. WARNING: Once the S-hooks have been opened they will have to be replaced to avoid injuries from coming open and/or breaking.
Maintenance: At beginning and end of each play season and once a month during play season, check for sharp edges and/or cracks in metal. Check for excessive wear. Replace parts as necessary for safety. Make sure S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety standards. Check for vandalism. Maintain detailed inspection and maintenance records for public-use playground equipment.
Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.
