Safe Working Loads

Model	SWL vertical	SWL 45°	SWL horizontal	Weight	Fasteners
PD/6C	2150 kg	1290 kg	1290 kg	75g	M6 × 2	View part →
PD/8C	4000 kg	2400 kg	2400 kg	145g	M8 × 2	View part →
PD/10C	7600 kg	5250 kg	5250 kg	255g	M10 × 2	View part →
PD/12C	9750 kg	6750 kg	6750 kg	440g	M12 × 2	View part →

To achieve the maximum SWL the load must be applied in plane with the centrelines of both threads. Weights and fasteners from the drill guides.

Fitting

Check the deck thickness is within the range in the table; if not, contact Spinlock.
Mark out and drill the fixing holes through the deck, perpendicular to the deck and parallel to each other.
PD/6C and PD/8C: cut the plastic spacer tubes to length; they must protrude through the underside of the deck into the base plate holes.
Spacer tubes (PD/6C, PD/8C) and back collars (PD/10C, PD/12C) are not used on decks thinner than stated in the table.
Apply sealant/jointing compound where the product contacts the deck and between threaded collar, deck plate and staple.
The deck plate must sit perpendicular to the staple axes; adjust the threaded collars if necessary.
Do not over-tighten the nuts (maximum torque in the table). Flush regularly with fresh water.

Deck Thickness and Torque

Model	Deck range	Spacer length	No spacer / back collar below	Max torque
PD/6C	8 - 42mm	Deck thickness minus 8mm	10mm	7Nm
PD/8C	13 - 47mm	Deck thickness minus 13mm	15mm	17Nm
PD/10C	12 - 42mm	–	17mm	30Nm
PD/12C	13 - 47mm	–	20mm	45Nm

Maximum staple height above deck (drill guides): PD/6C 24 mm, PD/8C 30 mm, PD/10C 40 mm, PD/12C 46 mm.

Dimensions (A–J as on the drawing)

Model	A	B	C	D	E (drill)	F	G	H (deck)	I	J
PD/6C	6mm	10mm	10mm	3mm	2 × 10.5mm on 25.0 centres	45mm	20mm	Max 42.0 / Min 8.0	24.2mm	55mm
PD/8C	8mm	12mm	12mm	3mm	2 × 12.5mm on 32.0 centres	58mm	26mm	Max 47.0 / Min 13.0	30.0mm	62mm
PD/10C	10mm	14mm	15mm	5mm	2 × 15.5mm on 38.0 centres	70mm	32mm	Max 45.0 / Min 23.0	40.0mm	69mm
PD/12C	12mm	18mm	17mm	5mm	2 × 17.5mm on 50.0 centres	88mm	38mm	Max 45.0 / Min 23.0	46.0mm	86mm

F × G is the deck plate footprint, H the deck thickness and I the staple height above the deck. For PD/10C and PD/12C the dimension table gives a 23–45 mm deck range while the installation table gives 12–42 and 13–47 mm; the PD/10C drill guide gives 2 × 15.0 mm holes against 15.5 mm here (all as printed).

Drill Guides

One drill guide per size, on A4: PD/6C, PD/8C and PD/10C at 1:1, PD/12C at 1:2.
Spinlock's warning: if you use a guide as a template, set the printer for the drawing scale and always check the dimensions before drilling.
Each guide also shows the assembly: staple, threaded collar, deck plate, spacer or back collar, base plate, penny washer and nut.

Safety

Check the product is correctly specified for your application, load and line size, and that it is correctly installed before its first use under load.
Braided fibre rope only – never three-strand or wire rope. Never use the product if it is damaged or worn, or with damaged rope.
Never use cleaning or lubricating solvents, polysulphide or polyurethane based sealants: they degrade the product. Do not modify any part.
