MOUNT VERNON, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 1, 2024 / Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Ball Chain), the world's largest manufacturer of ball chain and related attachments, is delighted to announce the launch of its revolutionary connector, the Ball Chain Viper V-Type Crimp Connector™, patent pending. This innovative coupling is ideal for use in continuous chain loop operating systems with tension devices specified in the updated window covering safety standard, WCMA/ANSI A100.1-2022. The new standard takes effect June 1, 2024, and permits continuous loop operating systems in custom window coverings with compliant tension devices. 

Ball Chain continues to offer customers cutting-edge component parts for use in today's marketplace. Unlike standard connectors, the Ball Chain Viper V-Type Crimp Connector features extended ears, or flaps, on one side for the installer to close securely over the chain, creating a continuous loop. Ball Chain's talented in-house engineers designed and developed the Ball Chain Viper V-Type Crimp Connector following meticulous research and testing. "As a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated manufacturer, we're incredibly proud to have pioneered this important connector," explains EVP and Chief Engineer Val Taubner III. "The introduction of the Ball Chain Viper V-Type Crimp Connector represents a team effort and expands upon our long tradition of bringing novel products to U.S. and international customers. We are proud that this connector and all of our Ball Chain products are manufactured at our production facility in Mount Vernon, New York," adds President Bill Taubner.
