COLD SHUTS
Cold Shut Links are used to link to or repair steel chains.
After sliding the cold shut link between two other links, or an attachment, use a hammer to pound the end of the cold shut through the eye. To seal the link, you must peen the extended end of the cold shut, which prevents the link from opening. Always use one size larger cold shut link than chain size. Ex: for 1/4" chain use a 5/16 cold shut.
****It is important to note that chains and cold shuts of the same nominal size do not have the same rated capacity. A 1/4" proof coil chain has a rated capacity of 1,250 lbs but a 1/4" cold shut link has a rated capacity of only 800 lbs. If you match a chain with a cold shut link of the same size, the combination will be significantly weaker than expected.

A cold shut is a discontinuity that appears on the surface of cast metal as a result of two streams of liquid meeting and failing to unite. A cold shut is a fault in the surface of a piece of metal caused by two streams of molten metal not joining properly when the piece is being cast.
