Wichard FRX20 Friction Ring - 20mm (25/32")

The Wichard FRX20 Friction Ring – 20mm (25/32") is an essential hardware component for serious boaters and riggers who demand reliability in challenging marine environments. This friction ring is designed for managing halyards, control lines, and tension systems on deck, providing the controlled grip needed to hold loads safely without permanent deformation or slipping.

Built by Wichard, a trusted name in French marine hardware, the FRX20 employs a friction-based mechanical principle. As line passes through the ring under tension, the contact surface creates controlled resistance, allowing you to hold loads or manage descent speed without jamming or damaging the line. Constructed from durable marine-grade materials, it is engineered to withstand saltwater exposure and UV degradation.

This friction ring benefits deck hands, yacht riggers, commercial fishermen, and marine engineers who require reliable equipment in their operations. Its compact footprint and minimal weight make it ideal for retrofit into existing systems or new builds where space and weight savings are crucial. The 20mm diameter accommodates standard marine cordage and cable sizes commonly used in sailing, trawling, and commercial rigging.
