JIS F 2025 Type A Detachable Plug Type Anchor Chain Cable Clenches Ship Mooring

Product Specification

Detachable Plug Type Anchor Chain Cable Clench | JIS F 2025 Type A

Product Overview

The JIS F 2025 Type A detachable cable clench is a chain-locker fitting used to secure the anchor-chain bitter end at the chain-locker bulkhead. Its detachable plug / cover and pin arrangement provides a controlled means of releasing the chain connection when an approved emergency-abandonment procedure requires the anchor chain to be let go. It is not a deck chain stopper, lifting fitting, towing component, or routine anchor-handling device.

The supplied dimensional data follows JIS F 2025:1992. JIS F 2025:2021 is the current active edition, so newbuilding and class-related orders should confirm the governing edition before quotation. Selection should be based on the nominal anchor-chain diameter, chain grade and project load basis, chain-locker bulkhead geometry, release access, welding interface, sealing requirement, coating system, and required inspection scope.

Quick Specifications

• Product function: Anchor-chain bitter-end securing in the chain locker → provides a defined connection at the chain-locker bulkhead and a detachable release arrangement.
• Standard and type: JIS F 2025 Type A detachable type → Type A is the detachable configuration; Type B is the fixed configuration.
• Standard edition: 1992 dimensions supplied; 2021 edition is current → confirm the contract, vessel drawing, and class requirement before production.
• Nominal size range: 52 to 120, including nominal size 73 → covers applicable anchor-chain diameters from 50–52 mm through 114–120 mm.
• Approximate mass: 40.5 to 274 kg → relevant to handling, bulkhead installation planning, packing, and freight estimation.
• Standard material basis: SS400 body with component-specific steel, brass, gasket, packing, and retaining materials → stainless steel or alternative materials require an approved project drawing.
• Installation: Welded to the chain-locker bulkhead → the standard permits the body to be matched to a curved mounting surface where required.
• Sealing and testing: Gasket and packing performance should support the specified sealing duty → any completed-assembly watertight test pressure and acceptance criteria must be confirmed by the project.

Main Technical Parameters

Selection & Inquiry Guide

Step 1: Confirm the governing standard edition, Type A detachable configuration, and designation such as JIS F 2025 A52.

Step 2: Confirm nominal anchor-chain diameter, chain grade, chain certificate data, and whether the order is for newbuilding or replacement of an existing cable clench.

Step 3: Provide the chain-locker arrangement, bulkhead thickness / curvature, welded installation interface, reinforcement detail, chain direction, and available operating access.

Step 4: Confirm the material schedule for the body, cover, pin, stopper, fasteners, gasket, packing, retaining parts, and any stainless steel or special-material requirement.

Step 5: Confirm surface treatment, sealing duty, any watertight function test, release / reset procedure, inspection points, and whether a cover handle is required.

Step 6: Confirm quantity, certificate and class scope, delivery destination, required delivery time, approved drawing, existing-product photos, and packing requirement.

Chain-Locker Installation & Quality Advantages

• Type A is the detachable JIS configuration, allowing the bitter-end connection to be released under a controlled vessel procedure rather than remaining permanently fixed.
• The body geometry should be matched to the chain-locker bulkhead; where the mounting surface is curved, the standard allows the body to be adapted to the installation surface.
• Pin, stopper, cover, packing gland, stud-bolt, and retaining-part alignment should be checked together so the release stroke and reassembly condition are not affected by fabrication distortion.
• The component-based material schedule supports separate control of the structural body, removable parts, brass fasteners, gasket, packing, and retaining wire / chainlet items.
• Gasket and packing condition is important for the specified sealing duty. Material performance, replacement interval, test pressure, and acceptance criteria should follow the approved project specification.
• The welded bulkhead interface and surrounding ship structure must be checked by the shipyard or design office for load transfer, local reinforcement, access, corrosion protection, and inspection.
• The cable clench should be function-checked after fabrication and installation according to the agreed procedure; it should not be represented as an anchor windlass brake or deck chain stopper.

Custom Attributes

• Standard Basis: JIS F 2025:1992 supplied dimensions / JIS F 2025:2021 current edition → confirm which edition is contractually applicable.
• Type: Type A detachable → different from the Type B fixed configuration.
• Nominal Size: 52 / 56 / 60 / 64 / 68 / 73 / 78 / 84 / 90 / 95 / 102 / 111 / 120 → select by the applicable nominal anchor-chain diameter.
• Standard Designation: JIS F 2025 A + nominal number → example: JIS F 2025 A52.
• Standard Body Material: JIS G 3101 SS400 → other component materials follow the standard material schedule.
• Optional Material: Stainless steel or customized material → available only subject to approved drawings, corrosion compatibility, welding procedure, and project acceptance.
• Anchor Chain Grade: To be confirmed → the supplied information alternately states up to Grade 2 and Grade 2 / Grade 3, so no unsupported grade claim is made.
• Surface Treatment: Sa 2.5 blasting + epoxy shop primer, galvanized finish, or project coating → final system depends on material, welding sequence, and vessel coating specification.
• Certificate Requirement: Available according to order scope → maker certificate, material traceability, class inspection, and witness points must be confirmed before quotation.

How It Works

Anchor-chain bitter end is connected to the cable clench → The chain is secured at the chain-locker bulkhead during normal service → Retaining parts keep the detachable cover / pin arrangement in position → Under an approved emergency procedure, the retaining and detachable parts are released in a controlled sequence → The assembly is inspected, reset, and resealed after operation

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between JIS F 2025 Type A and Type B?

A1: Type A is the detachable configuration and Type B is the fixed configuration. Type A is selected where the vessel arrangement requires a controlled method of releasing the anchor-chain bitter-end connection.

Q2: How should the correct nominal size be selected?

A2: Select the nominal number from the applicable anchor-chain diameter and confirm it against the vessel drawing, chain grade, chain-locker geometry, existing installation, release access, and approved standard edition. The table is a dimensional selection reference, not a declaration of SWL or breaking load.

Q3: Is watertight testing and Grade 3 chain compatibility included as standard?

A3: Not automatically. The current standard identifies sealing-related gasket and packing performance, but the completed-assembly watertight test method and acceptance criteria must be defined by the project. The supplied chain-grade statements conflict, so Grade 3 compatibility must be confirmed before it is stated in a quotation or datasheet.
