UST Para 325 Utility Cord, 50 Foot, Orange

UST Para 325 Utility Cord - A Versatile Companion

The UST Para 325 Utility Cord is a testament to practical utility and reliable craftsmanship, crafted entirely from durable nylon. With a length of 50 feet, this cord serves as an indispensable tool for various tasks that require dependable support.

This utility cord excels in versatility. You can tease out the core threads to use them as fishing line or sewing thread, making it a handy companion for outdoor enthusiasts and DIY aficionados alike. However, it's crucial to understand its limitations: this product is not designed for climbing or supporting body weight.

Warning: The UST Para 325 should never be used for activities such as climbing, repelling, or lifting heavy objects overhead where personal safety could be compromised. Its working load and weight rating are derived from static tests; thus, exceeding these limits poses significant risk. Furthermore, dynamic stress conditions like swinging or jerking can reduce its effective strength by over one-third.

Avoid standing in line with any rope under tension due to potential recoil hazards—particularly critical with nylon ropes known for their elasticity. Additionally, securing large flat surfaces or valuable objects with this cord is ill-advised due to possible failure under strain.

Regular inspection of your utility cord is essential; replace immediately upon noticing signs of wear such as broken fibers. While knots may seem convenient, they significantly weaken the rope’s integrity by more than half—opt instead for splicing when feasible to maintain maximum strength.

The UST Para 325 Utility Cord offers reliability within its intended scope but demands respect and understanding of its operational boundaries—a true hallmark of responsible gear ownership.
