NATIONAL WIRE ROPE CLAMP, ZINC PLATED - 1/16"National Hardware 1/16" wire rope clamp (U-bolt clip) secures wire rope to form an eye or loop, giving you a reliable termination for cable assemblies, tie-downs, and rigging. The U-bolt clamps over the rope and the malleable iron saddle seats against the load-bearing (live) side for a secure hold.
- Fits 1/16" wire rope
- Steel U-bolt and hex nuts with malleable iron saddle
- Zinc plated for corrosion resistance
- Meets torque value of Federal Specification FF-C-450D, Type 1, Class 2
- Forms an eye or loop, or anchors webbing or strap
- Minimum 2 clamps per termination at this size (per FF-C-450D)
Tip: "Never saddle a dead horse" - the saddle (the heavier U-shaped piece) always goes against the long, load-bearing side of the rope; the U-bolt goes around the short tail. Re-torque the nuts after the rope has been loaded a few times.
Warning: Not for overhead lifting, support of human weight, or athletic or playground equipment. Inspect frequently and stay within the published safe working load.
