5/16" Wire Rope U-Bolt Clip
The Dayton 2VKJ3 is a malleable-iron U-bolt clip designed to terminate 5/16-inch galvanised steel wire rope with a wire strand core. It provides a secure connection for lifting, pulling and conveying tasks where a reliable rope end is required. The cast clip body and U-bolt assemble quickly with basic hand tools.
For rigging and lifting terminations
Installers who need a standard clip for 5/16-inch rope on lifting slings, guy lines or winch cables will find this part fits the specified diameter and core type. Buyers who need a different rope diameter, a forged clip or a higher load-efficiency rating should look at alternative hardware.
12 ft-lb minimum installation torque
Correct tightening to at least 12 ft-lb is the single specification that determines whether the clip develops full holding power on the rope. Under-torqued clips can slip under load, so a calibrated torque wrench must be used during assembly.

Questions about this item
When should the 5/16 in U-bolt clip be replaced due to wear?
Replace the clip if the malleable iron body shows cracks, the threads strip, or the saddle deforms beyond the original 5 1/4 in turnback radius.
What limits how long the Dayton 2VKJ3 clip holds under continuous load?
The 12 ft-lb minimum installation torque and the malleable iron material strength define the sustained load limit.
How much heat or noise does the 5/16 in wire rope clip produce during all-day lifting?
The clip is a passive forged iron fitting; it generates no heat and makes no noise during operation.
