The new draw latches feature riveted mounting baseplates, that allow distributing loads over a large bearing area. Protex 43-3292, 43-4292, and 44-4292 latches are well suited for the industrial, earth-moving, and process equipment sectors.
44-4292
The fasteners are compatible with Protex 40 and 41 series latches. They come in stainless or zinc-plated mild steel, reaching tensile strengths of 2,000 and 2,500 with type 04-4292 catchplates. All models have a standard grip range adjustment of 20 mm, and seal using lock wire or self-retaining pins. Both models can be padlocked for added security, while the 44-4292 is fitted with a side-action catch that locks when the latch is closed. The 43-4292 and 44-4292 models have an optional 150-mm long eyebolt, which increases the grip range adjustment of each product to 60 mm.
