Stainless steel kit with two U-bolt clips and one thimble for 5/16 in wire rope

- Two U-bolt clips secure 5/16 in rope reliably
- Included thimble protects the rope eye from wear
- Kit supplies three fittings for a complete termination
- Compatible with stainless steel wire rope applications
Kit Contents and Application
This Dayton kit provides two stainless steel U-bolt clips and one stainless steel thimble for 5/16 inch wire rope. It creates a secure loop termination for lifting, pulling or conveying tasks where corrosion resistance is required. The fittings are designed for use with stainless steel rope of the same diameter.
Installation Requirements
Each clip requires proper torque on its U-bolt nuts to develop full holding strength, so a suitable wrench or socket is needed. The thimble protects the rope eye from wear and deformation under load, while the two-clip arrangement distributes clamping force along the turnback. No sleeves or additional ferrules are included in this kit.
Upgrade Considerations
This kit replaces improvised clips, mismatched hardware or carbon steel fittings that can corrode and weaken the connection. The jump to stainless steel components is worth it when the assembly faces moisture, chemicals or outdoor exposure where rust would compromise safety. Buyers needing larger rope diameters, swaged fittings or a greater number of clips per termination should select a different kit.
