Inside link lengths are nominal dimensions.
The # numbers are trade size designations, not American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes.
The working load limit is not the breaking load. Your fittings and fixing points must also meet the actual load requirements.
This chain is for light-duty use, not lifting or hoisting.
Find Your Application
You can use this chain to connect lightweight lighting components, hang signs and glass decorations, or add weight to curtain bottoms. We offer different sizes and lengths so you can match the chain to your application.

You can choose the chain length to suit the hanging height of lightweight lighting fixtures. We can also supply matching end fittings to connect the chain to the fixture. The chain, fittings, and fixing points must all support the load of the complete fixture.

You can order cut lengths to hang your signs where you want them. We can also supply various fittings for both ends of the jack chains, so you have less cutting and separate parts sourcing to do when the chain arrives. This supply option can also be suitable for your display signs and tags.

You can choose nickel plated jack chain for stained glass decorations or suncatchers with silver fittings. The link size needs to suit the proportions of your piece and support its weight. If you prefer a black finish, you can also consider black jack chain.

If you need to add weight to the bottom of theatrical curtains, we can supply the chain to the required bottom-edge length. You can use the weight per unit length in the size table to choose the right size for your weighting needs. This chain is for bottom weights, not for lifting curtains.
Automated Production
We use automated equipment to produce jack chain, improving production efficiency and reducing reliance on manual work. This lowers manufacturing costs, giving you more economical prices when you buy in bulk.
Automated production also helps us keep link dimensions and shapes consistent within each size. When you fit hooks, connecting rings or other components, you can reduce the adjustments caused by differences between links. For lighting and display pieces, the uniform link shape also helps create a more consistent overall appearance.

Made to Fit Your Assembly
You can buy the chain alone and handle cutting and fittings sourcing yourself, or have us arrange cut lengths, end fittings and packaging together. Alongside standard sizes, we also offer custom dimensions to suit your existing components.
- Custom Dimensions
- Cut-to-Length Supply
- Fittings & Chain Ends
- Packaging & Bulk Supply
If standard links do not fit your existing components, or you need a different wire diameter, you can send us your drawing, sample or target dimensions. We can make custom nickel plated jack chain to your requirements, with wire and link dimensions that better fit your available space and fittings.
We can supply custom lengths of nickel plated jack chain to suit your assembly, saving you from measuring and cutting each piece after delivery. If you plan to process the chain yourself, you can also choose continuous lengths.
You do not need to find separate suppliers for the chain and end fittings. We can supply hooks, connecting rings and end fitting combinations to match your link dimensions and assembly connections, together with the chain.
Whether you buy for wholesale, distribution or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) assembly, we can supply bulk nickel plated jack chain in your required order quantity. We can also customize the packaging for your sales or production needs. Tell us the supply length and quantity per pack so you can distribute the chain for use after delivery.
It depends on your actual conditions. The appearance of the nickel-plated finish does not tell you which outdoor conditions it can withstand. If your chain will be exposed to rain, moisture or salt for long periods, tell us about the environment and your corrosion protection needs. We can then discuss suitable materials and finishes with you.
The fit depends on whether the fitting can pass through the link and connect to your assembly fixing point. Besides the inside link length in the table, the actual opening and fitting wire diameter also matter. You can send us a fitting drawing or sample, and we can discuss matching end fittings with you based on that information.
Yes. We can make the chain dimensions to match your sample. Tell us which details need to stay the same, such as wire diameter, link dimensions and finished length. If you also want to match the working load or appearance, tell us so we can confirm the custom requirements with you.
