Turnbuckle body DIN 1478

The turnbuckle body DIN 1478 (pipe turnbuckle body, tension sleeve) is the separate centre part of a turnbuckle with right-hand and left-hand internal thread. It is used to assemble your own turnbuckle or tie rod with threaded rods, eyes or jaws – bracing steel and timber structures, tie rods of halls and shelters, tensioning wire ropes and guying masts – and as a spare part.

Unlike the open turnbuckle DIN 1480, the DIN 1478 pipe body is closed, so the thread is protected; the turnbuckle is turned with a bar inserted into the hole in the middle. Threads M6–M48, length 110–355 mm, property class 4.6. The load capacity in the table is indicative only; the product is not tested and is not intended for lifting loads.
