RCF QL-PIN 008 Quick Lock Pins for RCF HDL Rigging

RCF QL-PIN 008 Quick Lock Pin Kit for HDL and NXL Rigging

The RCF QL-PIN 008 is a dedicated 4 x quick lock pin kit engineered for RCF line array and rigging hardware. Built from stainless steel with a compact Ø 9.5 mm, L 21 mm form factor, these pins provide the mechanical link and lock points that keep HDL, NXL, TT, HL, and related RCF accessories working as a unified system. Each pin is specified within RCF's own pin position tables, so system techs know exactly where it belongs in front, rear, and side link or lock locations.

The kit is tied to part number 13360626 and carries CE-compliant status, making it suitable for professional touring, install, and rental environments. With a listed weight of just 0.19 kg (0.42 lb) and a steel, black-finished construction, the QL-PIN 008 is easy to handle on the grid yet robust enough for repeated use on busy shows.

System-Wide Roles in RCF HDL, HL, TT, and NXL Platforms

The QL-PIN 008 appears repeatedly in RCF's pin position table, which assigns it to specific link and lock functions across multiple product families.

• HDL arrays: Front link and lock positions on:
  • HDL 20-A
  • HDL 10-A
  • HDL 30-A
  • HDL 28-A
  • HDL 6-A
  • HDL 26-A
• HDL low-frequency modules: Link positions on:
  • HDL 18-AS

That repeated usage means one spare kit of QL-PIN 008 can back up many critical connection points in a mixed RCF inventory.

Construction, Dimensions, and Mechanical Confidence

The QL-PIN 008 is specified as a stainless steel quick lock pin with a 9.5 mm diameter and a 21 mm length. The material listing notes steel for the cabinet/case specification, and the color is identified as black, aligning the accessory visually with RCF rigging frames and loudspeaker hardware. By following these exact dimensions, the pin is sized to pass through the designated holes in RCF link and lock points without improvisation.

At approximately 0.19 kg (0.42 lb), the kit is light enough to carry several sets in a technician's tool pouch or case. The compact form factor makes it easy to handle on catwalks, at the top of grids, or behind flown clusters, where space and reach are limited and every connection benefits from predictable, repeatable parts.

Compliance, Packaging, and Inventory Planning

RCF lists the QL-PIN 008 as CE compliant, which supports its use in regulated venues and systems where conformity matters. Shipping information specifies a package height of about 20 mm (0.79 inches), width of 145 mm (5.71 inches), depth of 125 mm (4.92 inches), and a package weight of about 0.2 kg (0.44 lb). Those compact dimensions make it simple to stock multiple kits without consuming valuable warehouse or truck space.

For rental companies and production houses, it is straightforward to assign a set number of QL-PIN 008 kits to each RCF fly frame or cart, so that visiting engineers and DJs find the correct pins already paired with HDL, NXL, and TT systems. That planning keeps builds on schedule and reduces last-minute scrambles to locate missing hardware.

How to Deploy the RCF QL-PIN 008 in the Field

In use, the QL-PIN 008 follows the pin positions defined by RCF for each frame, module, or accessory. When assembling an HDL, HL, TT, or NXL system, align the rigging brackets or frame holes designated for front link, front lock, rear link, or side lock and insert a QL-PIN 008 through the matching holes until it is fully seated. Follow the specific RCF rigging documentation for the loudspeaker or accessory you are building to confirm each pin location.

For flying frames and kits, use the QL-PIN 008 where RCF indicates link or stacking positions. These include:

• FL-B NXL 24-A
• FL-B NXL 44-A
• FL-B LINK NXL 44
• FL-B HDL 6
• FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X
• STCK-KIT NXL 44
• PM-KIT 2X HDL 20
• PM-KIT 3X HDL 6
• KRT-WH 6X HDL 6
• KRT-WH 4X HDL 30
• KRT-WH 3X HDL 38
• KRT-WH 3X HDL 36
• KRT-WH 4X HDL 28

Many crews keep dedicated pouches of these pins attached to each frame or cart so the correct hardware is always available when arrays arrive at a Chicago venue or festival site. Before raising arrays or rolling stacks onto the floor, visually verify that each RCF-specified position is populated with a QL-PIN 008 and that the hardware sits flush through the bracket holes. That habit helps maintain consistency with RCF documentation and supports safe, predictable performance on every show.

Treat the QL-PIN 008 kit as essential rigging inventory—paired with each RCF frame, it keeps HDL and NXL arrays ready for fast, confident deployments in clubs, theaters, and outdoor stages.
