5/16 in 304 Stainless U-Bolt Clip
The Dayton 2VKH5 is a wire rope U-bolt clip made from 304 stainless steel for 5/16 in diameter rope. It provides a silver, cast-fabricated termination suitable for lifting applications with wire strand core rope.
Cast fabrication and torque specification
The cast clip body requires a minimum installation torque of 30 ft-lb to develop holding strength. A rope turnback length of 5 1/4 in is needed when forming the eye, and the clip is compatible with stainless steel rope material.
U-bolt clip interface constraints
The U-bolt design clamps the live and dead ends together and depends on correct torque and turnback to reach rated efficiency. It is not suited for applications that require swaged or mechanically spliced terminations instead of bolted clips.

Questions about this item
How often should the 30 ft-lb torque on the U-bolt nuts be re-checked?
Re-torque the nuts to 30 ft-lb after the first load cycle and then at regular inspection intervals to maintain grip on the 5/16 in rope.
What is the first limiting factor when the clip is used continuously near its rated capacity?
The 304 stainless steel body and U-bolt set the strength limit; sustained loading up to the clip's design capacity is governed by this material.
Does the 304 stainless steel clip generate heat or require cooling during all-day lifting operations?
No, the cast 304 stainless steel clip operates without measurable heat build-up and needs no cooling during continuous use.
