Dayton 3/16 in U-Bolt Clip
This Dayton wire-rope clip fits a maximum rope diameter of 3/16 in and is made from cast 304 stainless steel. It is designed for lifting applications with a wire strand core rope. The silver finish resists corrosion in harsh environments.
Installation torque and rope turnback
Before ordering, confirm that your rope diameter does not exceed 3/16 in and that the rope material is compatible stainless steel. Verify you can apply the minimum installation torque of 7.5 ft-lb during fitting. Ensure the required rope turnback length of 3 3/4 in is achievable on your assembly.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous load the 304 stainless steel body maintains its clamping force without the relaxation seen in short-term tests. The cast fabrication distributes stress evenly across the U-bolt and saddle. Load efficiency rating is not applicable, so the clip relies on proper torque retention over time.

Questions about this item
What does the box contain and do I need extra hardware to install the 3/16 in U-bolt clip?
The package includes the cast 304 stainless steel U-bolt clip sized for 3/16 in rope diameter; the saddle, U-bolt and two nuts are assembled, so no additional hardware is required for a standard wire-strand-core termination.
Should I choose a different clip if my rope is thicker than 3/16 in or if I need a higher load-efficiency rating?
This clip is rated only for ropes up to 3/16 in diameter and has no published load-efficiency figure; select a larger Dayton clip for thicker rope or an application that demands a certified efficiency value.
What does the 7.5 ft-lb minimum installation torque mean when I tighten the clip on a real wire rope?
Torque each nut to at least 7.5 ft-lb to achieve the recommended 3 3/4 in rope turnback and secure the stainless steel wire strand core without crushing the 304 stainless material.
