A612 Aluminium Double Slot Buckle, 15 kN

The A612 shares its headline figures with the A613: aluminium alloy, anodised standard finish, 4 mm thickness and a 15 kN minimum breaking strength. The two differ in layout, so buyers should compare the drawings to see which slot arrangement suits their strap design.

Double slot buckles are workhorses of webbing products. On a harness they hold the adjustable ends of leg loops and shoulder straps; on belts and carrying systems they set length and keep a strap end from pulling free. In aluminium, the A612 suits products where weight counts, such as climbing, rope access, arborist and rescue harnesses, and where an anodised colour can mark a particular adjustment point.

Because the strength of a friction adjuster depends on how the webbing is threaded, buyers should confirm the threading method and webbing thickness during sample testing. State webbing width, anodising colour and marking in the RFQ. The A612 can carry a customer's brand as OEM or private-label hardware, and Power Honour can modify it to a drawing.
