KITS RADIUM RELEASE HI TCH KI T


Radium Release Hitches have been proven to out-perform load release straps time after time. The Radium has greater extension (9+ ft) and better control and it can never fuse together under shock load the way that load release straps can. Carabiners are part of the system, simplifying your rigging.


Key Features: 9+ ft extension • Can’t “fuse” under shock loads • Integral carabiners • Pre-tied with 8 mm accessory cord for convenience (page 22) • Comes in a convenient storage pouch • Hook and loop fasteners hold carabiners in place for fast deployment • Instructions to re-tie hitch

RELEASING THE LOAD A Load-Releasing Hitch (LRH) is typically tied with accessory cord and rigged between the anchor and a tandem prusik belay or any device that can not easily be released when loaded. An effective load release mechanism must be able to sustain a significant shock load and still be used to safely release tension in the belay system by extending up to several meters. For many rescue teams, the Radium Release Hitch is the preferred LRH. An LRH serves two primary purposes:


1) If the belay line becomes loaded accidentally, the LR hitch can be used to shift the load back to the main line and “release” the load on the belay.


2) The LR hitch can be used for load transfer purposes other than belaying, such as knot passing, changing over from a raising system to a lowering system, or from a lowering system to a raising system. An LRH placed between anchors and load bearing devices like belays, rope grabs, and descenders can make it easy to recover from rigging snafus without extensive system adjustments.


While there are other load release systems out there (load release strap, mariners straps, etc.), none have been proven as safe and effective as the Radium.
