Silver malleable iron U-bolt clip for 1/8 in wire rope

Dayton

Dayton 2VKH9 Wire Rope U-Bolt Clip 1/8 in

SKU CH-5VE8-YNQ5N

Secures wire rope up to 1/8 in with a malleable iron U-bolt clip rated for lifting

  • Malleable iron construction resists deformation under load
  • U-bolt design secures 1/8 in wire rope efficiently
  • 5 ft-lb torque spec ensures reliable installation
  • Cast fabrication provides consistent strength for lifting
  • Silver finish protects against corrosion in harsh environments

Compatible Rope Diameter

The Dayton 2VKH9 is a U-bolt wire rope clip designed for galvanised steel rope with a maximum diameter of 1/8 in. It uses a cast malleable iron body and is rated for lifting applications. The clip suits wire strand core construction and requires a rope turnback length of 3 1/4 in. Installers tighten the U-bolt to a minimum installation torque of 2.5 ft-lb.

Thermals Noise Power

This mechanical fastener has no active cooling, electrical draw or acoustic output. It operates passively in any ambient condition where the base metal and galvanised rope remain within their material limits. No power supply, fan or thermal interface is involved.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous tension the clip maintains its grip through friction between the U-bolt, saddle and rope strands. The 2.5 ft-lb torque setting must be verified after initial loading and rechecked periodically because vibration can loosen the nuts. The cast iron body and silver finish resist corrosion but do not alter the mechanical holding capacity over time.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/8 in wire rope U-bolt clip and what torque should I apply?

Place the U-bolt over the dead end of the rope, seat the saddle on the live end, and tighten the nuts evenly to 2.5 ft-lb minimum installation torque.

What maintenance will the malleable iron clip need over time?

Inspect the clip regularly for corrosion, cracks or deformation; replace it if the silver finish shows significant wear or if the rope slips.

What is the first limit reached when the clip is under sustained load?

The minimum installation torque of 2.5 ft-lb must be maintained; loss of preload is the primary limit during continuous use.
