## Specification

Lines: 8mm - 12mm (5/16" - 1/2")
Loads up to 2350kg

Lock Open - XXC0812/L
Allows line to run freely in or out with the handle closed
Ideal for applications such as spinnaker sheets and mainsheet when locking is rarely needed
Lifting the rear switch instantly applies clutching mode

Side Mount
Side mounting is the neatest solution for spars, side decks and coamings. Handed port or starboard; use bolted version for conventional installation, or bonded version for building directly into deck or rig to save installation weight

## Xxc Or Zs Jammer?

Choose XXC for working loads/diameters that can't be held reliably with conventional clutches but where the winch release of the ZS Jammer is impractical
Choose [ZS](https://www.spinlock.co.uk/en-GB/uk/products/zs-alloy-carbon-jammers) for bigger diameters/high loads where winched release is  positive safety feature and instant release is unnecessary
