[Public-List] Suncor Fittings

[C.B. Currier]

Interesting  - Wasn't there a practical sailor review that had the wire
breaking before the fitting with - I thought norsemen?

Anyhow - Try Hayn - engineered with modern technology - they are strong
and more easily manageable compared to the cone only fittings - 
here are some instructons on installation

The guys testing it made up there own fittings and loaded them to failure.  The Suncor and Stalok wires both broke before the fittings let go however the Norseman fitting failed at - from memory - at 70% of the rated wire strength.  The Norseman factory then sent a fitting made up by themselves.  The fitting also failed well below the rated wire strength.  So go figure.  All three are Lloyds rates which is where I think the minium 90% figure comes in.  Suncor claim that the wire will always fail before the fitting.  I don't know what to think.
