Rigging screw - M2.5 - self locking
Details
Rigging screw - M2.5. Single end design, nickel plated brass, M2.5 thread, self locking design, 1.2 mm Ø stainless steel wire. The next size larger rigging screw is ref. 30-030. The next size smaller rigging screw is ref. 30-020.
The length of the rigging screw body is 25 mm. The 1.2 mm Ø wire extends about 70 mm below the body. There is no lock nut so the maximum safe adjustment length is about 15 mm.
A small single ended rigging screw ideal for shrouds and kicking straps on classes like 36/600, 36R, US 1M, IOM and so on.
Bend the wire to make a hook or permanent attachment to a deck eye. Attach the shroud to the eye in the eyebolt end.
This self locking rigging screw can be used in a non self locking mode by removing the O ring. Add a normal M2,5 nut or a Nyloc self locking nut as preferred to provide the lock nut function. Alternatively use a short length of silicone rubber tubing to mark the correct place (see sketch).
The O rings are available as spares, ref. 82-0025.
