A compact black nylon cleat with integral fairlead to guide the rope into the teeth. Ideal for animal restraints, marine and agricultural applications, also small fairground rides. The CL228 is both weather and corrosion proof.
Hole centres are the same as nylon CL201 and alloy CL219.
Fix with countersunk (flathead) bolts or screws.
If you don't need a fairlead, look at CL201, with in-line fixing holes.
Similar to the CL201, is the CL280 with side-fing holes.
The CL219 is an aluminium version of the CL201, for harsher conditions.
The CL231 is a smaller version of the CL228, for 4-8mm ropes..

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?
