Markussens Galvanised 12mm Spectacles - CS12GA

Designed for demanding marine, fishing, and offshore use, the Markussens Galvanised 12 mm Spectacles CS12GA are forged to deliver reliable toughness, corrosion resistance, and secure rigging performance. Manufactured by a recognised specialist in hardware for commercial fishing and marine applications, the product offers peace of mind when your gear has to stand up to Irish sea-spray, salt-laden air, and fluctuating temperatures.

These spectacles (also described by the brand as “Galvanized” spectacles) are ideal where strong connections are required for 12 mm diameter chain, wire, or rope terminations. For Irish rigging, mooring, trawling, or deck-fitting scenarios, they bring the benefit of ready-to-install hardware from a trusted brand.

By choosing the CS12GA, you gain a corrosion-protected finish, clearly defined sizing (12 mm diameter), and compatibility with existing chain/terminals of the same spec. The galvanised finish supports longer life in wet or marine-exposed zones, helping minimise downtime and maintenance.
