Splice Line – Mini Pelican Hook w/Splice Eye- LS-3170

For a significant weight savings, as well as a sleek modern look, Splice Line fittings allow you to easily splice high tech Dyneema line to standard lifeline fittings in place of heavy stainless steel wire. The end terminal of these fittings is a purpose-built, specially formed splicing eye which supports tight synthetic fiber eye splices.

Currently (12/4/14), both US Sailing and ISAF allow Dyneema/Spectra lifelines for offshore racing.
Dyneema is also a great product for the cruising sailor who wants to replace their stainless steel lifelines.
CS Johnson recommends changing out the line at 4 year intervals.

Maximum line diameter is 6 mm (1/4″)
Professional splicing is recommended
Splice Line terminal dimensions: 9/16″ Dia. x 1-5/8″L
Pin diameter on fittings with pins is 1/4″
Depending on your lifeline configuration, the splice opposite the fitting may need to be done on the vessel
