Key Features:

• HD220 Alloy — 220,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Crafted from Gator’s proprietary HD220 alloy, delivering superior clamping force that outperforms standard 8740 chromoly to handle extreme cylinder pressures.

• Precision-Rolled Threads: Threads are rolled post-heat treatment to maintain grain integrity, offering excellent fatigue resistance and long-lasting durability.
