A deceptively simple ridged `V' groove holds
ropes firmly, yet is devoid of any moving parts to break
or seize. It allows the immediate release of the rope by
a short upward and backward pull.
Always
tension the rope before it enters the cleat. Dragging the
rope backwards over the teeth may cause damage, especially
to the nylon cleats.
Countersunk head screws or bolts of the recommended
size should be used; bolts being preferred. If using rivets
with a powered fixing gun, make sure the pressure is not
set too high. Fastenings must be entered straight so that
the heads do not protrude to snag the rope. Several of the
cleats have been designed with a groove in the base enabling
them to be fitted to both flat and curved surfaces.
Marine grade nylon cleats offer very good
value for money, for both production builder and sailor
alike. They are ideal for most applications where high loads
or rope surges are not likely to be encountered. Nylon cleats
are corrosion resistant and will last for many years outdoors.
