Wire Rope Clip, Drop Forged, for 5/16" Cable, Hot-Dip Galvanized.

Key Features

• Made of forged steel.
• Hot-dip galvanized coating.
• Recommended maximum torque: 50 N.m
• Recommended for 5/16' guy wire (SRET516CAM or SRET516DA)
• Recommended usage per connection: 3 pieces
• Ideal for heavy loads
• Recommended for suspension or securing of guyed towers, masts, poles, and similar structures.

Safety Notes

• Use the same size clip for the same size steel cable.
• Never use malleable iron clips in critical, heavy-duty applications, or for overhead loads, such as slings, suspension lines, guy lines, tow lines, cargo securing, scaffolding, etc.
• Malleable iron clips are for making terminations:
• Only for light-duty and non-critical applications such as light loads, handrails, fencing, area protection, etc.
• Apply an initial load to test the assembly. This load must be equal to or greater than the weight it will support. Then check and re-tighten the nuts to the recommended torque.

Wire Rope Clip Installation Method

1. Loop the cable the necessary length around the thimble, and install the first clip at a distance from the dead end of the cable equal to the width of its base. Tighten the nuts alternately to the specified torque.
2. When only two clips are needed, install the second one as close as possible to the cable bend or thimble, and tighten the nuts alternately to the specified torque. When more than two clips are required, install the second clip as close as possible to the cable bend or thimble and turn the nuts firmly without fully tightening.
3. Install all necessary clips between the first two with equal spacing between one another, and located in the same position. Ensure the nuts on all clips are tightened according to the specified torque.
4. Finally, apply a load equal to or greater than the intended use load to test the assembly. Immediately check, and if necessary, re-tighten the nuts to the recommended torque using a torque wrench.
