Petzl Ring Open Gated Ring - Yellow | Omni-Directional Loading & 11 mm Opening

Overview

The Petzl Ring Open Gated Ring in bright yellow is crafted for dependable, semi-permanent gear connections. Its round geometry distributes load in every direction, helping prevent cross-loading and preserving strength where it matters most during dynamic activities.

With a broad 11 mm gate opening, this ring simplifies threading ropes with sewn terminations and thick webbing loops. It’s designed for long-term attachment of equipment like lanyards, absorbers, and chest harnesses—perfect when you don’t need frequent gate access.

Key benefits

• Omni-directional loading: a circular shape maintains strength in any direction (23 kN Major Axis, 23 kN Minor Axis), reducing cross-loading risks.
• Semi-permanent connection: ideal for long-term attachment of gear where frequent opening isn’t required.
• Wide opening: an 11 mm gate opening accommodates ropes with sewn terminations and thick webbing loops with ease.
• Secure locking: a 3 mm hex key (included) tightens the gate to 3 Nm, helping the ring stay closed during use.
• Compact & lightweight: aluminum body with a plastic spacer keeps the weight to about 70 g while ensuring proper screw alignment.

Practical use scenarios

• Gear setups in climbing or rescue tasks where a reliable, semi-permanent connector is preferred.
• Attachment points for lanyards, absorbers, or chest harnesses that don’t require frequent gate access.
• Ropes with sewn terminations or bulky webbing loops—thanks to the generous 11 mm opening, threading is straightforward.

Materials, setup, and safety notes

The ring features an optimized aluminum body with a plastic spacer to ensure correct screw alignment, contributing to consistent performance. At roughly 70 g, it offers a lightweight option for gear kits. The included 3 mm hex key is used to tighten the gate to 3 Nm, helping maintain a secure closure during activity.

In short, this Petzl ring blends a simple, dependable form with practical features for long-term connections and smooth field setup. It suits scenarios where consistent direction-agnostic loading and easy installation are valued—without promising guaranteed outcomes.
