Kong X-large Alu Auto Block Connector

Kong X-large Alu Auto Block Connector

The Kong X-large Alu Auto Block Connector carries a Lunar White zinc-nickel finish rather than standard black galvanising. Kong states the treatment gives double the corrosion resistance, a longer life and less friction against cords and textile devices. It is rated to 50 kN.

Features and Benefits

The zinc-nickel finish is the difference between this and a standard plated steel connector. Beyond the corrosion figure, a smoother surface transfers less abrasion into any rope or sling running across the body. That matters on a connector that stays in a system.

Additionally, the EN 362/T certification covers termination connectors specifically, alongside the EN 362/M multipurpose rating. That pairing is what allows it to be installed as a fixed end connection rather than only clipped in and out.

Moreover, the asymmetric D body at 114 x 76.5 mm (4.5 x 3 in) keeps load on the major axis. The three movement auto block sleeve resists accidental opening. A 25 mm (1 in) gate takes a structural bar directly. Kong tests every unit in Italy.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Corrosion is what retires steel hardware in this climate, and a zinc-nickel finish buys years on a connector that lives outdoors. Use it on fixed anchors and lifelines across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and on industrial installations near the coast. It also suits rigging systems where a smoother body saves wear on the textiles running over it.
