The Ronstan RF1056 Saddle with Eye (16mm Clearance) is a robust, multi-purpose marine-grade stainless steel deck fitting designed for guiding and securing larger diameter rope, wire, hose, or conduit. Featuring a central ferrule eye, it provides an additional attachment point for lashing, tie-offs, or control line systems.

With its 16mm internal clearance, this is the largest option in the RF1056/57/58 range—making it ideal for heavier-duty applications such as lifelines, larger control lines, and hose routing.

Constructed from 316 stainless steel, the RF1056 offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh saltwater environments, while its low-profile polished finish reduces snagging and maintains a clean deck layout.

Designed for versatility, it is widely used across yachts, trailer boats, and workboats, where strength and reliability are essential.

Why Choose the Ronstan RF1056? 

For New Zealand boat owners, managing larger lines, hoses, and deck systems requires fittings that are both strong and versatile. The RF1056 provides a high-capacity solution while still maintaining a clean and efficient deck layout.

Compared to smaller models (RF1057 13mm and RF1058 10mm), this version offers:

• Better suitability for larger diameter lines and hoses
• Increased strength and load handling
• Greater flexibility for multi-purpose rigging setups

It’s ideal for heavier-duty marine applications where smaller saddles are not sufficient.

Common Applications

• Lifeline and guardrail support
• Larger control line routing
• Hose and conduit management
• Deck tie-off points
• Workboat and trailer boat rigging
