These break-away wire links allow life floats and buoyant apparatus rafts to float free of a ship that sinks in deep water. One side of the break-away wire link is secured to the ship and the other side is tied to one end of the raft’s 100ft painter (the other end of the painter is tied to the raft.
If the ship sinks in water less than 100ft, the raft stays attached to the ship by the painter, which prevents the raft from floating or drifting away.
However, if the ship sinks in very deep water, rather than have the raft dragged down with the ship, the buoyancy of the raft breaks the wire link and the raft pops to the surface, free of the ship.
Since different sized rafts have different amounts of buoyancy, there are 3 different strengths of wire to accommodate this. Each wire link is tagged to identify the float size it is legal for.
