AD243 Aluminium Alloy D-Ring, 22 kN

The AD243 is made from aluminium alloy with an anodised standard finish. It measures 120.8 mm in length, 84 mm in width and 10 mm in thickness, weighs 103 g, and carries a minimum breaking strength of 22 kN, given in imperial units as 5000 lbs.

A D-ring of this size and rating is typically sewn into the dorsal or sternal position of a full body harness, or used as a side attachment on a work positioning belt, where it accepts the connector of a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline. Aluminium cuts weight compared with a steel D-ring of similar capacity, which matters to users who wear a harness all day, such as rope access technicians, tower climbers and maintenance crews.

When specifying, confirm the webbing width and thickness that will pass through the D-ring, the anodising colour, and whether marking or a particular proof-test regime is required for the target market. The AD243 is available for OEM and private-label programmes, and Power Honour can adapt it to a customer drawing.
