Wire Rope Oval Sleeve
This copper oval sleeve fits 1/4 inch diameter wire rope and is sold in a pack of 25. The sleeve measures 1/2 inch in overall length with a 1 1/8 inch outside diameter. It uses a swage fitting type and has a zinc-plated finish. The product is rated for lifting applications.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The sleeve is designed for lifting capability and maintains integrity under continuous tension. Load efficiency rating is not applicable according to the specifications. Copper construction provides consistent compression performance during extended use. The oval sleeve shape distributes force evenly across the wire rope connection.
Installation and Common Issues
Installation requires a swaging tool to compress the sleeve onto the wire rope properly. The package includes 25 sleeves with no compressions pre-applied. Common issues include using incorrect die sizes for the 1/4 inch rope diameter or insufficient compression force. Proper swaging technique is essential for the rated lifting capability.

Questions about this item
Does the copper sleeve generate any heat or noise during continuous swaging work?
The sleeve is a passive copper fitting with no moving parts, so it produces no heat or noise during or after compression.
What swaging tool or die is required to compress these 1/4 in oval sleeves?
A hand or hydraulic swager fitted with a 1/4 in oval-sleeve die is needed to make the required crimps.
Will these sleeves work with older galvanized wire rope I already have on site?
Yes, they are designed for 1/4 in diameter wire rope regardless of the rope's age or finish.
