The Ronstan RF115 X 1/2 Toggle Pin is a compact, high-strength marine-grade stainless steel clevis pin designed for secure, removable connections in rigging systems, shackles, and deck hardware. With its short 1/2” (approx. 12–17mm usable length), it is ideal for tight or confined rigging spaces where longer pins are not suitable.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this toggle pin provides excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and fatigue—making it ideal for New Zealand’s harsh marine environment.

The spring-loaded toggle mechanism ensures a firm, vibration-resistant connection while allowing quick installation and removal without tools. This makes it a reliable choice for both permanent fittings and adjustable rigging setups.

According to Ronstan specifications, the RF115 X 1/2 features a 6.4mm diameter and compact geometry, allowing it to pass through tight fittings while maintaining strength and durability.

Why Choose the Ronstan RF115 X 1/2? 

For New Zealand sailors, space constraints and reliability are critical in rigging setups. The RF115 X 1/2 provides a low-profile solution where standard or longer pins may interfere with adjacent hardware or lines.

Compared to longer toggle pins, this version offers:

• Better fit in tight or restricted spaces
• Reduced risk of snagging or fouling lines
• Same strength and corrosion resistance as larger RF115 models

It’s an essential spare part for onboard maintenance and quick repairs, especially on dinghies and compact rigging systems.

Common Applications

• Lifeline fittings
• Small toggle assemblies
• Shackle connections in tight spaces
• Boom and mast hardware
• Lightweight sail control systems
