NAVTEC BY HAYN

The NAVTEC Y110 Rod Heading Dies are tool steel die sets used to head Nitronic 50 rod rigging, available in individual sizes for every NAVTEC rod dash size from -04 through -60 to ensure a correctly formed head on each rod end. 

NAVTEC by Hayn - Strong Where It Matters

NAVTEC Y110 Rod Heading Dies

Rod heading is the process that forms the enlarged head at the rod end, which seats into the cup of a stemball tang, spreader tip cup, or other socket fitting — and using the correct die for the specific rod dash size is essential to producing a head with the right geometry and dimensional accuracy. The Y110 dies are sized at 4" length, 3" width, and 3" stack height across all 12 standard configurations, and are used with a hydraulic press to form the head without compromising the Nitronic 50 rod's material properties at the terminal end. Larger die blocks and additional sizes beyond the standard range are available on request by contacting Hayn directly.

Engineered In America Every Hayn fitting is designed and manufactured at our facility in Rocky Hill, Connecticut — the same American workmanship that has set the standard for stainless steel rigging hardware since 1950.
Cold-Worked Production Hayn fittings are cold-worked, not cast. That distinction matters: the cold-working process refines grain structure, increases fatigue resistance, and produces a fundamentally stronger component — one built to perform when the load comes on it.
NAVTEC ENGINEERING STANDARDS NAVTEC components are engineered to perform under the exact conditions that demand the most from your rigging — offshore passages, high-load racing applications, and everything in between. Every fitting is precision-machined to tight tolerances, built from high-grade stainless steel, and designed to integrate seamlessly into rod rigging systems where failure is not an option. 
YOUR EXCLUSIVE SOURCE FOR NAVTEC Hayn is the sole authorized manufacturer and supplier of NAVTEC rigging components. That means every part you order is made to the original specifications, backed by Hayn's manufacturing expertise, and supported by our team in Rocky Hill. There is no other legitimate source for new NAVTEC product — what you get here is the real thing. 
  • Type 316 stainless steel construction for superior saltwater corrosion resistance
  • Manufactured in Rocky Hill, Connecticut to Hayn's proprietary tolerances
  • Precision-machined using advanced CNC manufacturing equipment



  • Engineered for seamless integration in marine and architectural rigging systems

  • Short lead times on both standard and custom components
