Sash Chain—Not for Lifting
Also known as sash cord, this thin chain is used over pulleys and for hanging double-hung window sashes. The flat links fold back on themselves for maximum flexibility.
Zinc-plated steel chain has good corrosion resistance. Copper-plated steel, brass, and bronze chain have excellent corrosion resistance. 302/304 and 430 stainless steel chain are the most corrosion resistant.

Sash Chain Lanyards—Not for Lifting
The chain has flat links that fold back on themselves for maximum flexibility. Use the split ring on one end to hold tags and keys.
Zinc-plated steel lanyards are mildly corrosion resistant.
18-8 stainless steel lanyards are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated steel lanyards.

Chain Pull Cords
These chain pulls are more durable than rope pulls. Use them to operate doors, vents, skylights, and overhead equipment.
Sash chain is good for light duty applications, such as small doors, vents, and skylights.
Zinc-plated steel pull cords have some corrosion resistance.
304 stainless steel pull cords have excellent corrosion resistance, making them the best choice for harsh environments. They also have good chemical resistance.
