The TLN, TLS and TLNS tension links are designed and manufactured with a variety of end attachment configurations to fit many different types of hardware installations. They are available with male threads, female threads, or a combination of male/female threads.
Measurement ranges: 1,000 to 400,000 pounds.

Model TLS-20 (SS) X and TLN-20 (SS) X shown.
