Each fork comes with a conical nut (CN) and double headed clevis pin. The combination of a left-hand Tension Fork on one end of a rod assembly with a right-hand Tension Fork on the other end provides the most symmetrical design and most economical method of adjusting and tensioning rod rigging systems.

Our Most Attractive, Economical And Versatile Assembly Style. Standard Tension Rod Assemblies with a left-hand Tension Fork on one end and a right-hand Tension Fork on the other offer easy adjustment and tensioning without the need of bulky in-line turnbuckles. Simply spin the rod to adjust length. Flats are machined onto each rod so that wrenches can grip without scratching the finish. Assemblies are manufactured to your exact lengths with the Tension Forks set in the mid-adjustment position allowing maximum open and close adjustment without any exposed threads. See chart below for +/- adjustment for each rod size. Standard Tension Fork Assemblies are manufactured from standard capacity type 316 stainless steel with a satin finish and are available in 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" & 1" diameters. Each assembly includes a rod, left and right-hand Tension Fork end fittings with Conical Nuts and Double Headed Clevis Pins and Rod Connectors (if needed). Rod Connectors are used for all assemblies over 12-feet long. Assemblies are shipped assembled with Tef-Gel anti-seize on the threads. Measuring Assembly Lengths Assemblies are measured from center pin to center pin with the Tension Forks set in the mid-adjustment position. The chart indicates the available plus/minus adjustment range for each rod size. Assemblies are designed so that no threads will ever be exposed if adjustment is kept within the noted ranges.
