  • Secure lifting with malleable-iron U-bolt construction

  • 12 in turnback length ensures proper installation
  • 35 ft-lb minimum torque guarantees firm grip
  • Four clips minimum required for rated lifting capacity

Wire Rope U-Bolt Clip 5/8 in

The Dayton 2VKJ8 is a malleable iron clip designed for 5/8 inch galvanized steel wire rope with a wire strand core. It provides a secure connection for lifting and pulling applications. The cast fabrication ensures reliable performance under load. This new hardware component meets industrial requirements for wire rope termination.

Minimum four clips required per connection

The manufacturer specifies a minimum of four clips for each rope termination to achieve proper holding strength. Installation demands a torque of 35 ft-lb applied to each U-bolt nut for correct seating. A rope turnback length of 12 inches is needed to accommodate the clip spacing. These requirements directly affect the amount of rope and hardware you must provision.

Verify rope diameter and core compatibility

Confirm your existing wire rope measures exactly 5/8 inch in diameter and uses a wire strand core before ordering. The clip is rated for lifting use with galvanized steel rope only; other materials or core types are not supported. Check that your torque wrench can reach 35 ft-lb for installation. Note the California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemical content.

Questions about this item

How often should I retighten the U-bolt nuts to the 35 ft-lb torque spec after the rope beds in?

Retorque the nuts to 35 ft-lb after the first load cycle and inspect periodically; the 12 in turnback length gives enough tail to re-seat the clips if slippage occurs.

What is the first limit reached when the assembly is cycled continuously under full working load?

The 35 ft-lb installation torque is the governing limit; if the nuts lose preload the clip can no longer develop the rated holding power on the 5/8 in galvanized steel rope.

Does the malleable-iron clip run hot or make noise when the rope moves through it all day?

The cast malleable-iron body has no moving parts, so it generates no measurable heat or noise; only the rope itself may warm under sustained friction.
