Stainless Steel Mooring Cleats
Stainless Steel Mooring Cleats
(OP)
Is anyone familiar with a company who manufacturers duplex grade stainless steel mooring cleats? I'm not looking for 316 stainless steel but something like 2205. I would like to specify it on a job but can't seem to find anyone who makes it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have seen them but don't know who makes them.

Thanks for the info. That does help. I will keep searching but hopefully someone is familiar with a manufacturer...

These are 6" mooring cleats being installed on a brand new concrete ferry pier. Certainly not a 100 ton mooring bit. It's primary use is for some 65' ferry ships to tie off to on a fair weather pier.

Bronze cleats are available. The link says aluminum but the bronze is in there.

I can't say I know anything about aluminum or bronze cleats and how they compare next to stainless steel? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

For fasteners I would favor bronze alloys (Al-Bronze and Si-Bronze are the most common). Give these materials lower strengths these will be large fasteners.
You could use super-duplex SS fasteners, though they will be more expensive.
Make sure that there are no washers of other materials used (no steel, galv, 304/316 SS, fiber, or such).

Ed, any concerns with embedding Al-Bronze or Si-Bronze fasteners in concrete, such as would be the case for CIP anchor bolts? I assume that they would need to separate any contact points between the anchor bolts and the rebar in the pier...
RE: Stainless Steel Mooring Cleats
Yes isolate from rebar, make sure that they are well sealed and raised enough to prevent pooling.
