On a connector, the weak point is almost never the metal: it is the lock. This carabiner answers that risk with the simplest action there is - you screw it shut, and you can see that it is shut. No spring to trust, no mechanism to interpret. A 20 mm gate for calibrated anchor points, 82 g on the harness, EN 362 compliance, sold individually with a quantity break at 15 units.

The screw sleeve: the only lock you can read at a glance

Every carabiner closure aims at the same thing: stopping the gate from opening on its own. How each one gets there is what changes on a working site.

A screw sleeve is a threaded collar the wearer runs up by hand once the gate is shut. It is entirely passive: nothing operates it in the wearer's place, so nothing can operate it at the wrong moment. Its state reads instantly - thread showing, thread covered: it is the only lock a third party can verify without touching the equipment.

The downside sits in the same word: manual. A forgotten sleeve stays open. That is the trade-off settled by the twist lock carabiner 20 mm, whose collar closes by itself but whose state can no longer be checked by eye. Two logics: the screw sleeve for fixed positions and formalised inspections, the automatic collar for repeated manoeuvres.

20 mm, 82 g, EN 362: reading the spec sheet in the right order

The 20 mm gate defines what can be clipped on. It covers the calibrated anchor points of a complete fall-arrest system: standard rings, the dorsal or sternal D-ring of a fall arrest harness, the end loop of an energy-absorbing lanyard. It rules out any thick support - steel beam, scaffold tube, heavy-section lifting eye - which is the territory of the double lever carabiner and its 52 mm gate.

The 82 g matter more than they look. A full set of gear adds up a harness, a lanyard, a fall arrester and two to four connectors: it is the total that tells at the end of a shift, not the single item.

Then the standard. EN 362 sets out the requirements, test methods, marking and instruction-manual content for PPE connectors. On strength, it puts the threshold at 15 kN with the gate open and unlocked, and 20 kN with the gate closed and locked, along the major axis, with the load held for at least three minutes. The declared compliance therefore commits to those thresholds. The exact breaking load, however, is not on record in our database: ask us for it before ordering if your risk assessment requires it. It appears in the manufacturer's instruction manual, which must accompany any item of category III PPE.

FAQ - screw-sleeve carabiner 20 mm

Screw sleeve or twist lock - which one should I choose?▾

It depends on how many manoeuvres the job involves, not on the level of safety: both meet EN 362. The screw sleeve is closed by hand and its state is visible at a glance, which makes it the option for fixed positions, for gear inspected before anyone goes up, and for sites where verification is formalised. The twist lock carabiner 21 mm closes on its own and suits operators clipping and unclipping frequently, at the cost of any visual check. One team can legitimately carry both.

What can a 20 mm gate be clipped onto?▾

The calibrated anchor points of a fall-arrest system: standard rings, harness D-rings, lanyard end loops, the eyelet of an anchor device. Nothing thicker. For a steel beam, a scaffold tube or a wide lifting eye, you need either a wide-gate connector or a flat sling as an interface. The reliable method is to measure the largest anchor point on the job before ordering, not the most common one.

Does 82 g really matter?▾

On its own, no. Added up, yes. A working-at-height kit combines a harness, a lanyard, an automatic retractable fall arrester and several connectors, and that total is what the wearer carries for eight hours. Across the range for which weights are on record, the gap between the lightest and the heaviest connector reaches 18 g per piece.

What is the exact breaking load of this carabiner?▾

It is not on record in our database, and we would rather say so than estimate it. What is certain: EN 362 compliance requires a minimum of 20 kN along the major axis with the gate closed and locked. The other connectors in the anti-fall equipment range display figures between that threshold and 25 kN. If your prevention plan requires the nominal value and the measurement axis, contact us: we will obtain the manufacturer's instruction manual before confirming the order.
