How to Assemble large pitch chain
Please note that the process for assembling large pitch chains may vary based on the specific chain type and manufacturer's recommendations. Always refer to the product manual or manufacturer's instructions for the most accurate and detailed guidance.
Gather the required tools and materials: To assemble a large pitch chain, you will need the chain itself, connecting links or master links (if required), a suitable wrench or tool for tightening the connecting link pins, and possibly a chain breaker tool.

Prepare the chain: Lay the chain out on a clean and flat surface. Ensure that all the chain links are aligned in the correct order and facing the same direction.

Install the connecting link: If your chain requires a connecting link, locate the connecting links and prepare them for installation. Some chains use press-fit connecting links, while others require peening or riveting. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific chain type.

For press-fit connecting links: Install the connecting link by inserting the link pins through the chain ends. Use a suitable wrench or tool to tighten the connecting link pins, making sure they are secure.

For peened or riveted connecting links: Use a chain breaker tool to break the chain at the appropriate location. Insert the connecting link, aligning the pins with the chain ends. Use a peening tool or a chain rivet tool to secure the connecting link pins by peening or riveting them.

Check the chain tension: Once the connecting link is installed, check the chain tension to ensure it is in line with the manufacturer's recommendations. Adjust the tension if necessary, following the appropriate procedures for your specific application.

Lubricate the chain: Apply lubricant to the assembled chain to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. Petroleum-based or synthetic chain lubricants are commonly used for this purpose.
