Roller-free fork terminal

Roller-free fork terminal in stainless steel from Blue Wave.

A terminal is used to hold the end of a steel wire so that the wire can only move in one direction. It can be used functionally to fasten a structure, or architecturally for exhibition purposes. In addition, they can be used to fasten a mast to a so-called stay to stabilize the mast and thus the boat.

The terminals are usually rolled around the steel wire, i.e. the terminal is clamped around the steel wire using a special tool to secure it to an anchor point.

With roller-free terminals, you don't need to use a special tool. Instead, unscrew the terminal, place the wire, and screw it back together to secure the steel wire.

Blue Wave manufactures its products from a block of stainless steel, meaning there are no welds and their products can therefore withstand extra strain.
