No.6 Metal Vertical Blind Control Chain – Nickel Beaded Chain

Replacement No.6 Metal Vertical Blind Control Chain

Replace a broken, worn or discoloured vertical-blind operating chain with a smart nickel-coloured metal alternative.

This No.6 beaded chain is designed to operate compatible vertical-blind mechanisms. It is supplied in your selected total cut length with a connector, allowing the ends to be joined after the chain has been fed through the mechanism.

Key features

• No.6 metal beaded control chain

• Designed for compatible vertical-blind mechanisms

• Smart nickel-coloured finish

• Supplied in your selected total cut length

• Connector included

• Suitable for replacing plastic or metal No.6 chain

• Available in several lengths

What you will receive

• Your selected total length of No.6 metal chain

• 1 × compatible metal chain connector

Please change this section if the supplied connector is plastic rather than metal.

Choose the correct length

The options show the total cut length of chain supplied, not the finished top-to-bottom loop drop.

To calculate the required chain length, measure your desired loop drop and multiply it by two.

For example:

• A 50cm loop drop requires approximately 1 metre of chain.

• A 75cm loop drop requires approximately 1.5 metres of chain.

• A 100cm loop drop requires approximately 2 metres of chain.

Allow a small additional amount if you plan to trim and adjust the chain while fitting it.

Check compatibility carefully

Blind mechanisms use different chain sizes. This product is No.6 chain and is intended for compatible vertical-blind control mechanisms.

Before ordering:

1. Compare the bead size with your existing chain.

2. Compare the distance between the beads.

3. Check that the mechanism is designed for No.6 chain.

4. Compare your chain with the measurements in our product photographs.

This chain is different from the larger No.10 metal chain commonly used with roller and Roman blind mechanisms.

Do not order based on colour or appearance alone. No.6 and No.10 chains can look similar in photographs but are not interchangeable.

If you are uncertain, send us a clear photograph of your existing chain beside a ruler before ordering.

How to fit

1. Access the control mechanism at the end of the vertical-blind headrail.

2. Carefully remove the existing operating chain.

3. Feed the new chain through the control mechanism.

4. Check that the chain is seated correctly and is not twisted.

5. Join the two ends using the supplied connector.

6. Test the blind slowly in both directions.

7. Secure the completed loop with an appropriate child-safety tensioning device.

Fitting methods vary between headrail systems. Follow the original blind manufacturer’s instructions where available.

Child-safety information

Looped blind chains must be securely restrained and kept out of the reach of children.

Fit an appropriate chain-tensioning safety device and follow the blind manufacturer’s safety instructions. If the existing device is missing or damaged, add a replacement Blind Cord & Chain Safety P Clip to your order.
