Chain pipe for yachts
Maxwell Marine

An ideal windlass installation may require the chain locker to be situated away from the windlass. This is possible when using a VW model windlass in conjunction with a remote chain pipe. The Chain pipe-Roller provides the best possible solution to such a requirement. The roller (mounted on a self lubricated bearing) ensures low friction and therefore efficient and reliable movement of the chain from locker to windlass. The chain pipe portion covers the entry to the locker reducing the water intake. Square and round rollers are available for stud and short link chain respectively. The curvature of the chain pipe also prevents water ingress to anchor locker, preventing the shipping of water. It also acts to guard the moving chain and provides an elegant look in keeping with the windlass.
Maxwell has years of windlass installation design experience and strongly recommends consulting them for any installation, especially one that may need a Chain Pipe-Roller.
