  • TypeAngle, Pitch & Slope Locators

Wire Rope Thimble for 1/4 Inch Rope

This Dayton wire rope thimble protects 1/4 inch rope eyes from wear and deformation. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine and outdoor environments. Each pack contains 25 pieces for rigging multiple assemblies. It is designed for lifting applications where a durable loop termination is required.

Open End Design and Dimensional Limits

The open end style allows the thimble to slide onto the rope before the eye is formed and secured. Inside loop dimensions of 1 7/16 inches by 23/32 inches set the maximum hardware size that can pass through. A wall thickness of 1/32 inch and wall height of 1/8 inch define the bearing surface against the rope strands.

Replaces Worn or Undersized Thimbles

This pack replaces damaged thimbles or upgrades from lighter gauge hardware when the application demands stainless steel durability. The jump is worth it when the existing loop shows elongation, cracking or corrosion that compromises the lifting connection. It is not suited for ropes larger than 1/4 inch or for non-lifting decorative uses where a closed thimble is preferred.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the 25-pack or look for a smaller quantity of 1/4-inch stainless thimbles?

The product is sold only in a pack of 25 thimbles, so that is the quantity you receive.

What does the 1/4-inch compatible rope diameter mean when I install the thimble on my wire rope?

It means the thimble is sized to fit wire rope that measures 1/4 inch in diameter, forming a protected loop with an inside length of 1 7/16 in and inside width of 23/32 in.

Are there any industry standards that govern this thimble's design or lifting rating?

The specifications list standards as not applicable, so the thimble is not certified to a specific lifting standard.
