The RB208 is the replacement master link used with RB207 #41 slide gate chain assemblies. It is the small but important connecting link that allows a chain section to be joined, repaired, or reconnected after service on compatible GTO / Linear slide gate operator systems.
This item is mainly associated with RB207 replacement chain kits used on GP-SL050 and GP-SL100 style slide operators. Because #41 chain is used in more than one gate operator application, match the existing chain size, sprocket style, and operator parts diagram before ordering. A worn master link can create chain slack, noise, poor tracking, or chain separation, so replacement should be done with the chain tension checked afterward.
No. RB208 is the master link used with compatible #41 chain assemblies. A full chain kit such as RB207, GP4318, or GP4649 includes a length of chain.
No. It should only be used where the operator uses compatible #41 chain and the parts diagram supports this style of master link.
Replace the full chain if it is stretched, rusted, kinked, or has worn rollers. A new master link will not correct a badly worn chain.
