The Clamcleat® CL236/S1 has a becket added to our standard CL236. The roller fairlead allows ropes to enter the cleat from above. Because the CL236/S1 is based on the CL236 cleat, you can use the CL236 installation drawing for layout - see the Downlaods tab.
The advantanges of the integral becket are:-
- The becket holds the end of the rope under the cleat to allow rigging with a 2:1 advantage. It is easier to pull heavy load.
- The becket also holds shockcord and bungee under the cleat.
Available in two finishes:
- CL236/S1 with becket has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating.
- CL236AN/S1 with becket has a hard anodised finish to give a harder wearing surface.
Accessories for CL236/S1
- The CL814 Keeper is added to prevent the rope getting caught in the teeth of the cleat. Keepers keep a rope in the cleat, or keep it out of the cleat.
- The Cage CL816 is an accessory that allows ropes to be cleated and uncleated at an angle of up to 70 degrees, rather than only in line with the cleat
- The Clamcleat® CL818 Tapered Pad aids correct rope/cleating alignment. It can allow tensioning without rubbing the rope over the cleat teeth.
If you need the becket,but not the roller fairlead, look at CL704.
If you need a roller fairlead, but not the becket, look at CL236.
Q: What size of rope should I use on my CL236/S1 cleat?
Ans: The size of rope used on the CL236/S1 is from 3 to 6mm (1/8 – ¼”).
Q: What is a roller cleat?
Ans: A roller cleat has an internal sheave within the cleat which allows the rope to enter the cleat from more obtuse angles from above or below the cleat.
Q: What fixing do I need to secure the Clamcleat® CL236/S1 Cleat?
Ans: The fixing for a CL236/S1 cleat is M5 CSK or 4.8mm no 10 woodscrews.
Q: What are the hole centers for securing the Clamcleat® CL236/S1 Cleat?
Ans: The hole centers for the CL236/S1 cleat are 66mm 2 5/8”.
Q: Is there a tapered pad for the Clamcleat® CL236/S1 cleat?
Ans: The tapered pad for the CL236/S1 is CL818.
Q: Is CL236/S1 available in aluminum?
Ans: The aluminum version of the CL236/S1 is the CL236.
Q: Why does Clamcleat® not publish safe working loads (SWL) or break loads for its cleats?
Ans: The quality, type and style of the rope or cord plays a major role in the performance of the cleat. Normally the better the quality of the rope the greater holding power, also some cleats are designed to slip once they exceed the desired holding load as a safety feature including securing fabrics such as sunshades or covers.
Q: Do you get a better performance with an Aluminum cleat?
Ans: Aluminum cleats do not improve the performance of the cleat, but they can achieve higher holding loads and they also might improve the lifespan of the cleat especially if the rope will be in contact with the teeth whilst the rope is being pulled through during adjustment.
Q: What different coating are there for the Aluminum cleats?
Ans: The standard coating for the cleat is a Stoving Aluminum silver enamel coating. For extra protection from corrosion and a high-tech appearance the cleats are also available in a dark grey Hard anodized finish. The part no in suffixed with “AN” to identify the hard anodized finish.
Q: What is the best way to fix an aluminum cleat into a carbon fiber spar?
Ans: You need to create a barrier between the aluminum cleat and the carbon fiber surface to stop electrolytic de-composition. The barrier can be created by cutting a thin shim of plastic to the shape of the cleat and drill the fixing holes (the retail card the cleat is sold on is ideal to use as the shim), also use aa inhibitor or anti corrosive jointing compound such as Duralac on the fixing.
Q: Do you need to put a barrier between the Aluminum cleat and the stainless-steel fixing?
Ans: You need to add a inhibitor or barrier compound between the fixings, the Aluminum cleat and the mast or boom. For example, Daralac anti corrosive jointing compound.
Q: How long should an Aluminum cleat last?
Ans: This really depends on the usage, the quality and age of the rope used etc. so is very difficult to gauge. The ultraviolet rays will discolor the cleats over time and in very sunny climates may affect the life of the cleat. In extreme climates the life expectancy should be 10 -15 years depending on usage and in more moderate climate 20 + years.
Q: Can I fit my cleats using pop rivets?
Ans: Using pop rivets to fit your cleat is a tidy quick way of securing the cleat. Ensure the pop rivet is at 90 degrees to the cleat when fixing and with certain smaller cleats the head of the pop rivet gun will not sit onto the pop rivet when in place so you will require to add a spacer between the gun and the rivet.
Q: What type of rope or cord will give the best performance on my cleats?
Ans: In our experience a braided good quality rope gives you the best holding performance.
Q: Is there any maintenance required to a cleat to keep it performing well?
Ans: We would recommend flushing the with fresh water as often are you can.
