Barton T02131 – TUPHblox Single Swivel Block with Becket 35mm, Brass Bearing, Max Rope 12mm
The Barton T02131 TUPHblox Single Swivel Block with Becket is part of the robust and lightweight TUPHblox range, engineered for marine, industrial, and specialist applications. Manufactured from Tufnol phenolic resin laminate with cotton reinforcement, it delivers excellent strength, durability, and resistance to demanding environments.
The block runs on brass bearings for smooth and reliable operation, while 316 marine grade stainless steel bindings ensure structural strength and corrosion resistance. The swivel head allows free rotation under load, reducing line twist and improving alignment, while the integrated becket enables secure rope termination in purchase systems.
Tufnol construction provides non-conductive properties, making this block suitable for industrial environments, including explosive zones and hot air balloon systems. The laminated and heat-compressed structure ensures long service life, high durability, and excellent resistance to UV exposure and weathering.
