Zinc Plated Malleable Wire Rope Clip

This zinc plated malleable wire rope clip provides an economical solution for forming wire rope eyes and securing wire rope terminations in light-duty applications. Manufactured to meet Federal Specification FF-C-450D, Type 1, Class 2 requirements, these clips are commonly used in maintenance, agricultural, utility, and general-purpose wire rope assemblies where overhead lifting is not involved.

Cost-Effective Wire Rope Terminations for General Use

Wire rope clips are designed to secure the dead end of a wire rope back onto the live line, creating a loop or eye termination. They can also be used to join two sections of wire rope together in appropriate applications. Their simple design allows for easy field installation without specialized tools or swaging equipment.

The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance, helping protect the clip from rust and environmental exposure in indoor and low-corrosion environments.

Proper Wire Rope Clip Installation

A common phrase throughout the rigging industry 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 positioned on the dead end (terminated side). Proper installation helps maximize holding strength and overall assembly performance.

Important Safety Information

Warning: Malleable wire rope clips are not intended for overhead lifting applications. For lifting, hoisting, or other critical load-handling uses, select properly rated forged wire rope clips and always follow applicable safety standards and manufacturer recommendations.
