Maillon Rapide Square 7mm for reserve

The 7mm Maillon Rapide in stainless steel is the new standard for attaching a reserve parachute strop to the main Y bridle, or Harness bridles and  the shoulder mounts of the harness (For 18 - 26 mm flat webbing). The 7mm Maillon has a safe working load of 625kg and a breaking strain of approx 3 tonnes. This should give your system around 25 G! plenty for a sudden shock load. This is the BHPA recommended fixing for paragliding and Paramotoring reserve parachutes. Bridles should be mounted to the maillon with silicon O rings or a gin neoprene cover to prevent the bridle from slipping around the fixing.

 

WARNING: When using steel maillons, double-check and triple-check that they are screwed shut properly as part of every pre-flight check. Tightening should be done with fingers. A spanner may be used carefully, just give them a 'nip'. Threadlock compound or liquid is not recommended. If in doubt about any aspect of the use of this device please call us or mail us, consult your equipments handbook or a certified Instructor or rigger
