Built for long-run marine and heavy-duty applications, this YKK® Vislon Closed-End Reversible Zipper delivers a dependable, corrosion-resistant closure for large covers, cushions, and gear enclosures. Molded plastic teeth in a solid black finish pair with a reversible slider, letting you operate the pull from either side of the finished piece for greater flexibility during design and assembly. Extending 60 inches, this zipper suits large-scale projects that need a single continuous closure rather than a two-way opening. Manufactured by YKK, a name recognized for consistent hardware performance, this component adds a professional finish to your project while standing up to repeated use in outdoor and marine settings.
Spanning 60 inches in length, this zipper combines molded Vislon plastic teeth with sturdy polyester tape in a closed-end configuration, meaning the bottom stop is fixed, and the two sides do not fully separate. Black coloring carries through the teeth, tape, and slider housing for a uniform look that works well on dark canvas, upholstery, and outdoor fabric applications. Because the teeth and slider components are plastic, wet conditions and salt exposure won't cause rusting or metal corrosion, giving this zipper an edge over standard metal alternatives in coastal or humid environments. The reversible slider lets you place the pull on either side of the finished item, supporting cleaner installation on covers, cushions, and enclosures where slider placement matters. Manufacturing tolerances can cause slight variation in overall length, so confirm measurements against your pattern before cutting or sewing.
Turn to this zipper for large boat cushions, canvas enclosures, upholstery panels, and storage covers that call for a single long-run closure instead of a separating one. Fabricators working on awnings, bags, and heavy outdoor textiles also benefit from the reversible slider, which simplifies layout when the finished piece will be viewed or used from both sides. Treat this zipper as a closure component rather than structural or load-bearing hardware, and avoid using it in climbing gear, rigging, or any setup where failure could result in injury. For any load-bearing use, stay within 25 percent of the rated tensile strength of the tape and components, and check the slider and stitching periodically to confirm the zipper continues to glide smoothly.
