Clamcleat-CL282
The Clamcleat® CL282 Micros Tie-down is a mid-air cleat that is designed for one end to be attached to fixed point. The rope comes in from the other end, through the fairlead and into the teeth. The free end of the rope is pulled to tension. Used for tie-downs and tensioning control lines on canoes, kayaks and sailing dinghies. Works with all types of fibre ropes and cords, from 1-3mm.
Attach to a fixed point using a shackle, carabiner (carbine hook), hook, screw-link, rope or webbing. The CL282 is designed for 4mm shackles etc, but it can be attached to some types of 6mm hooks, carabiners and shackles. (The above photos show 4mm hardware.)
Another cleat for 1-3mm cords, that rigs without a rope tail, is the CL266.
A slightly larger cleat, that also rigs without a rope tail is the CL260 for 2-5mm cords.

Ans: The Clamcleat® CL282 Tie Down cleat can be used for cover tensioning, Dinghy and canoe control lines, sunshades, parasols and cloth tensioning.
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: How long should a Nylon 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: 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.
