Purpose & Audience
Midwest Fastener Corp 52189 wire rope clips are made for rigging professionals and maintenance crews who need to form secure loops or end terminations on 1/8 inch wire rope. The 100-piece pack supports high-volume jobs such as guy-wire tensioning, fence bracing and overhead lifting assemblies.
Critical Specification
Each clip is sized for 1/8 inch diameter wire rope, so the rope must match that exact dimension for the saddle and U-bolt to develop full holding power. Using a different rope size will prevent proper seating and can cause the connection to slip under load.
Installation & Common Issues
Installation requires placing the saddle on the live end of the rope, tightening the nuts evenly to the recommended torque and re-checking tension after the first load cycle. The most frequent error is reversing the saddle onto the dead end, which reduces grip and can lead to premature failure.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/8 inch size mean when I install these clips on a wire rope?
The 1/8 inch size matches wire rope of that diameter so each clip grips the correct amount of cable without crushing or slipping.
How do the U-bolt and saddle work together to hold the rope?
The U-bolt clamps the live end against the saddle while the nuts tighten evenly to create a secure loop or termination.
What clearance do I need to tighten the nuts on each clip?
Allow enough space for a wrench to reach the nuts on the U-bolt so you can torque them to the proper tightness.
