Grade 30 Proof Coil Hot Dip Galvanized Chain, 3/16" x 250' Pail

Ultra-Light Galvanized Chain. 250 Feet for Utility, Rigging, and Light Anchoring.

The Titan Chain Grade 30 Proof Coil Hot Dip Galvanized Chain in 3/16" x 250 feet is the finest diameter in the Grade 30 lineup — and at 250 feet per pail, the longest run available in the series. At this diameter, the primary use cases shift from primary anchor chain toward light utility applications: kayak and canoe anchoring, small dinghy tie-offs, mooring pendants, dock rigging, equipment securing, and general-purpose galvanized chain needs where a heavier diameter would be excessive.

Hot dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and built with ISO short pitch links, this 3/16" chain is a practical bulk supply for anyone who needs a long run of light, corrosion-resistant chain for marine or general utility use.

Key Features

• Grade 30 Proof Coil — Standard working load chain for light general purpose and utility applications
• Hot Dip Galvanized Finish — Thick zinc coating for superior corrosion resistance vs. electro-galvanized chain
• 3/16" Diameter — Ultra-light sizing for kayaks, canoes, small dinghies, and light utility rigging
• 250-Foot Pail — The longest run in the series; ideal for bulk utility supply or cutting to multiple custom lengths
• ISO Short Pitch Link — Standard link geometry for compatibility with small rollers and light-duty hardware
• Low Carbon Steel Construction — Proven material for strength and workability across marine and utility applications
• 1-Year Warranty — Backed by Titan Chain’s manufacturer warranty

⚓ Parts Desk Insight

• 3/16" is not a primary anchor chain for recreational vessels: This diameter is appropriate for kayaks, canoes, very small dinghies, and light utility applications. For any vessel with a motor or significant displacement, step up to at least 1/4" or 5/16". Using undersized chain as a primary anchor rode on a larger boat is a safety risk.
• 250 feet is best used as a bulk utility supply: At this diameter and length, the most practical use is cutting to multiple shorter sections for different applications — dock tie-offs, mooring pendants, equipment securing, and light rigging — rather than deploying the full 250 feet as a single rode.
• Windlass compatibility is unlikely at 3/16": Very few recreational windlasses accommodate 3/16" chain. This diameter is intended for manual handling and light hardware, not powered retrieval systems.
• Hot dip galvanizing extends service life significantly: Even at this light diameter, the hot dip finish provides meaningful corrosion protection in saltwater and outdoor environments. Electro-galvanized chain of the same diameter would rust out much faster in marine conditions.
