Line-Lok Rope Tensioner Black

The cleat's design locks the rope so it will not slip yet is easy to release. Out-performs traditional alloy and plastic guy runners and guyline tensioners. The Clamcleat® Line-Lok® guy runners is Ideal for antenna masts, wire antennas, canvas structures, tents, caravan awnings, sports nets, gazebos, bashas and shelters. The Line-Loks uses advanced tooth technology to securely hold all types of ropes and guy lines from 1 mm to 8 mm in diameter. Available in black and glowing-in-the-dark.

What is the difference between a "Line-Lok Tensioner" and a "Loop Tensioner"?

Loop tensioners (CL223, CL234) have a slot in their body into which the rope can be inserted from the side of the tensioner when in use. With Line-Lok Tensioners (CL266, CL260, CL276, CL271), the rope is threaded through the tensioner and therefore it is not possible to install the guyrope by simply wrapping it around the tensioner and snapping it onto the rope.

Which size to choose?

The diameters of the usable ropes listed in the table are extreme. Tensioners work optimally when used on ropes between the minimum and maximum diameter. It is also necessary to take into account the exact diameter of the rope (not rounded size) - the diameters of the Mastrant ropes are here or on a particular item in our online shop.

How long do cleats last?

This really depends on how cleats are used. We often see nylon cleats that are over 10 years old, when they have been used for light loads on control lines. However, tensioning a rope by dragging it back through the teeth will quickly burn out a nylon cleat. This is why alloy cleats were originally developed. Alloy cleats withstand this type of use, as long as the rope is clean. A dirty rope that is full of sand will wear out any fitting. Windsurfers and kitesurfers who have to rig on coral sand beaches certainly know that their equipment has a limited life. Hard anodised cleats have slightly better wear resistance than silver ones. Nylon cleats are completely resistant to salt water corrosion. They are also resistant to many acid and chemicals. Alloy cleats have "excellent” corrosion resistance. Hard anodised cleats have slightly better corrosion resistance than silver ones.
