Open Wedge Socket

With the Open Wedge Socket with (safety) pin from De Haan SE, a wire can be attached with a temporary connection. By tightening the wedge-wire combination in the cone, the connection is secured. If the wedge-wire combination is pushed back to loosen the connection, the end of the wire can be reeved. The connection can be fixed by pulling on the wedge-wire construction again.

All Open Wedge Sockets come with a pin or a safety pin. For more information about the Open Wedge Sockets see our ‘Warning & Application Instructions‘.
