Chain ST53-U Standard Link, Side-Cut Clock Chain with Unwelded Steel links
Chains are priced by the foot and this product will be supplied as a continuous length if possible. Chains with unwelded links can be re-sized to lengthen or shorten the chain as needed.
LINK SIZE & SPECS
| Link Size | Gauge | Length (in) | Width (in) | Thickness (in) | Max Load (lbs) | Weight per Foot (lbs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U12 | 14 | 0.47 | 0.31 | 0.07 | 26.4 | 0.06 |
The “weight per foot” signifies the weight of a 1-foot section the respective chain, not the weight a 1 ft section can sustain.
For example, if you order 8 ft of a chain that weights 0.25 lbs/ft, the total weight of that chain will be 2 lbs.
The “max load” is the amount of weight a chain can safely hold, regardless of how long it is.
When selecting a chain, we recommend calculating the total weight of chain based on the length you need, like in the example above.
Make sure that your total hanging weight (= total weight of fixture + total weight of chain) does not exceed the stated weight capacity.

DESCRIPTION
Add a sophisticated touch to your next home project with our steel chain ST53-U. This steel chain is comprised of small unwelded links. The mini standard links offer an understated appeal that is so versatile that it complements a wide variety of styles wherever or however its used. This is the perfect hanging chain for general utility purposes around the home. Since the links on this chain are unwelded, it can be opened up to adjust the length as needed. Besides general utility, this chain is perfect for hanging sun catchers, stained glass, wall decor, mirrors, picture frames, and so much more. ST53-U has 36 links per inch, so it's also great for use in clock repair. Since steel is susceptible to rust, we recommend this chain only be used indoors. Additional uses for this chain can be for crafts, costumes, hobbies, and DIY projects. Available in multiple finishes, you can't go wrong with this chain!
This steel chain can be supplied in a continuous length up to 164 ft.

DISCLAIMERS
Our steel chains are also available in bulk on reels, so this chain can be supplied in a continuous length up to 164 ft.
This chain can be used indoors in the appropriate applications, but will rust over time if used outdoors.
The links are unwelded so the links can be opened to directly attach onto something or adjust the length of the chain as needed.
The stated weight capacity of this chain is for static and motionless applications. These chains are not meant for any dynamic uses that would cause the chain to move or swing. This includes but is not limited to: swing sets, porch swings, hanging daybeds, etc.
Our chains are decorative and should never be used for any towing, overhead lifting (other than your fixture of course), safety applications, or any uses bearing human body weight (see the examples above).

Reviews of RCH Hardware
Thanks
I needed a specific chain quickly to complete a 2-day job already scheduled. Amazon was available, but could not guarantee my required delivery date. I took the chance of calling RCH directly. A staff member answered my call and simply put “made it happen”. Got the item when needed at a price as good as Amazon. Very grateful
Personal Assistance was Fabulous
I received excellent customer service with an idea that was definitely outside the box. RCH staff caught the vision and helped my idea become a reality. Plus, the product I ordered arrived on-time and is good quality. Thank you RCH!
