Clamcleat-CL272
A very neat nylon cleat, with a fairlead to guide the rope into the teeth. The CL272 uses advanced tooth technology to hold all types of fibre rope. Uses include kayaks, window blinds, sun shades, dinghy control lines.
CL272 is black. CL272W is white.
For fixing onto tubes, plates & hard surfaces, use screws, bolts or rivets. If using a powered rivet gun, use just enough power to set the rivet correctly. The CL272 can also be sewn, bolted or riveted onto webbing, canvas and technical fabrics - using a washer on the underside helps spread the load.
CL211 Mk2 is an alloy version of CL272, for more demanding applications.
CL203 Junior is a similar nylon cleat.
Using a CL819 Tapered pad can aid rope alignment.
The CL272 cleat is used on the CL826-72 to make a cleat that is rigged in mid-air.
A smaller nylon cleat is the CL263 for 1-4mm ropes.

Q: What is a fairlead cleat?
Ans: A fairlead guides the rope through the cleat making it easier to adjust the position of the rope. The rope will need to be threaded through the cleat during installation.
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: 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.
