Stein Copious P-TEC 10mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch

Stein Copious P-TEC 10mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch

The Stein Copious P-TEC 10mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch is designed for arborists who rely on friction hitches as a core element of their climbing systems. Friction hitches demand specific cord characteristics and consistent termination quality to perform correctly on supporting hardware. This sewn eye-to-eye hitch is intended to support controlled movement, predictable grip, and reliable performance during ascent, work positioning, and descent. 

Purpose-built design for arborist friction hitches

This hitch is constructed as a sewn eye-to-eye cord, allowing it to be dressed cleanly and consistently on climbing hardware. Sewn terminations help maintain a compact, repeatable setup and reduce bulk at connection points. The 10 mm diameter is suited to friction hitch applications where a balance of grip, control, and compatibility with common arborist climbing lines is required.

P-TEC cord construction for heat and abrasion resistance

The Copious P-TEC hitch is manufactured using Stein P-TEC accessory cord, featuring a polyester and Technora blended cover with a polyester core. This construction is intended to deliver high abrasion resistance and strong heat resistance, both of which are critical during friction hitch engagement. The cord provides grippy handling characteristics, supporting controlled interaction with the climbing line during movement and positioning.

Tested compatibility and certified construction

The hitch has been independently tested in configuration with Stein climbing lines ACR16, ACR24, ACR32, and OMEGA 32/12. As with all friction cords containing polyester elements, rigorous inspection before, during, and after each climb is essential. The finished product is CE and UKCA certified to EN 795(B):2012, with the accessory cord itself tested to CE EN 564 standards, supporting professional use within arborist climbing systems.
