Kong Quick Link Triangle Connector

Kong Quick Link Triangle Connector

The Kong Quick Link Triangle Connector is a triangular maillon in 316 stainless steel, made to connect ventral devices to a harness. In its certified form it carries EN 12275/Q, EN 362/Q and UIAA approval, and holds 60 kN on the major axis.

Features and Benefits

Triangular geometry exists for one reason. It keeps three-way loading under control by giving each leg of the connection its own corner, which is what you want when a ventral ascender, a descender and a harness attachment point all meet in the same place.

Additionally, the strength is substantial. At 60 kN major axis and 30 kN minor axis, this sits well above the loads a rope access system generates, which is the margin you buy on a connector that stays in place for the life of the harness.

Furthermore, 316 stainless is the marine grade. That matters here, because salt air on the east and west coasts will attack ordinary plated steel long before the hardware is worn out, and a maillon that lives permanently on a harness has no chance to dry out properly.

Check the certification before you buy. Kong is explicit that codes in the range showing no certification are not personal protective equipment and are not suitable for human suspension, so confirm the item code against the intended use.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Kong Quick Link Triangle Connector is a rope access and professional connector. Use it to attach a ventral chest ascender or a descender to the harness attachment point, to build a semi-permanent connection you do not want opened by hand, or for fixed anchor work. Certified codes only for anything holding a person, and non-certified codes for load securing.
