ALEXANDER-ROBERTS Aircraft-Type Swage Fork 1/4″ – AF-8

Description

ALEXANDER-ROBERTS Aircraft-Type Swage Fork 1/4″ – AF-8. is a 316 stainless steel fork terminal for 1/4″ standing-rigging wire, designed for professional machine swaging and a 3/8″ clevis pin.

Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in saltwater rigging environments
• Sized specifically for 1/4″ (6 mm) standing-rigging wire
• Fork accepts a 3/8″ clevis pin; the matching CPAF-series pin is available separately
• Fork termination is well suited to single-tang connections on smaller sailboat rigs
• Manufacturer-specified wire depth is 64 mm (2 17/32″) for professional machine swaging

Alexander-Roberts identifies this fork pattern for smaller rigs with single tangs, including split-backstay systems and some backstay-chainplate connections. The fitting is for marine standing rigging rather than aircraft use. It must be machine swaged onto the correct wire size; the mating clevis pin is not included.
