Type 316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope Clip
This Type 316 stainless steel wire rope clip is designed for creating secure wire rope terminations and eye assemblies in marine, architectural, industrial, and corrosive environments. Manufactured from precision-cast 316 stainless steel, these clips provide excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability where exposure to moisture, saltwater, chemicals, or harsh weather conditions is a concern.
Marine-Grade Wire Rope Termination & Splicing Solution
Wire rope clips are an essential component in wire rope and rigging systems. They are commonly used to form wire rope eyes or connect two sections of wire rope together without the need for specialized swaging equipment. Their field-installable design makes them a versatile solution for marine rigging, cable railing systems, utility projects, and general-purpose wire rope assemblies.
For proper performance, wire rope clips should always be installed using the recommended number of clips, correct spacing, proper overlap, and specified torque values based on the wire rope diameter.
Proper Installation Matters
A long-standing rigging rule to remember when installing wire rope clips is:
"Never saddle a dead horse."
This means the saddle portion of the wire rope clip should always be installed on the live end (load-bearing side) of the wire rope, while the U-bolt is installed on the dead end (terminated side). Incorrect installation can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the termination.
If you have questions regarding clip quantity, spacing, overlap requirements, or recommended torque values, our product experts are available to help ensure your assembly is configured correctly.
Standards & Construction
These wire rope clips are precision cast to Federal Specification FF-C-450D, Type 1 requirements. The Type 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel, making it an excellent choice for marine and coastal applications.
