Navtec Rod Fittings

This high-strength, low-stretch, corrosion-resistant rod is the industry standard, developed originally by Navtec. Cold drawn, it is available in coil form in rod sizes up to –76 and in bar form for –76 and above. Navtec’s Nitronic 50 rod can be found everywhere in the yachting industry, from America’s Cup racers, to Super Yachts, blue-water cruisers, one-design racers, and production boats. Our new highly-polished finish provides the final touch to our well-engineered rigging systems. Navtec rod is specified in Dash sizing, denoting the breaking strength in thousands of pounds; i.e., –10 = 10,000 lbs. breaking strength.

	Marine Eyes Navtec Marine Eyes have long been the industry standard and are used as upper and lower rod backstay terminals.	Specifications
	High Fatigue Eyes Forestays require fittings that can toggle under high load and shifting lead angles. Navtec High Fatigue Eyes minimize bending stresses in the rod and are ideal for this application.	Specifications
	High Fatigue Jaws Forestays require fittings that can toggle under high load and shifting lead angles. Navtec High Fatigue Jaws minimize bending stresses in the rod and are ideal for this application.	Specifications
	Rod Jaws Commonly used as upper and lower terminals on rod backstays. Also used on low-fatigue assemblies like bobstays.	Specifications
	Rod T Fittings After extensive research and testing, Navtec has developed a T fitting to be used in the rod applications up to -22. With highly detailed construction techniques these T's are stronger than our wire T fittings. Made from high-quality 316 Stainless and Nitronic 50, these T's have a longer fatigue life than any other T on the market today.	Specifications
