3. The gate opens allowing the
snap hook to slip off
6.3 Compatibility of Components
If the connecting element such as a snap hook or carabiner is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where the
connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. This force may cause the gate (of either a self-locking
or a non-locking snap hook) to open, allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connection point.
Suitable carabiners or snap hooks are considered to be compatible with connecting elements as long as their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented.
Only use connectors that are suitable to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength.
Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Contact Kingspan if you have any questions about compatibility.
Kingspan connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. See
Fig 4 for inappropriate connections. Snap hooks and carabiners should not be connected:
A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.
Note.
Large throat opening snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the
gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on fixed structural elements such as rebar or
cross members that are not shaped in a way that can capture the gate of the hook.
