Zoro Select 3/8 in Utility Cord
The Zoro Select 20TL74 is a general-purpose polypropylene rope built with a 12-strand diamond braid construction. It measures 3/8 in diameter by 50 ft long and has a working load limit of 240 lb with a tensile strength of 1,200 lb. The blue cord weighs 1.4 lb and ships in a hank.
Best for light utility and tie-down tasks
This cord suits buyers who need a lightweight, rot-resistant line for camping, tarps, or securing light loads around the garage. It is not for buyers who require a rope rated for lifting, climbing, or dynamic shock loads beyond the stated working limit.
3/8 in diameter with 240 lb working load
The 3/8 in diameter and 240 lb working load limit are the primary figures that determine if this cord matches the required safety margin for a specific task. Verify the load requirement against this rating before use.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/8 in diameter and 12-strand diamond braid work with my existing 3/8 in pulleys and cleats?
Yes, the 3/8 in diameter matches standard hardware and the 12-strand diamond braid construction feeds smoothly through pulleys and grips cleats without flattening.
How can I verify the 1,200 lb tensile strength and 240 lb working load limit are holding after I install it?
Inspect the blue polypropylene for cuts or fused fibres, confirm the hank feeds without kinks, and load gradually to 240 lb — no permanent stretch means the rope is performing to spec.
Does the 50 ft hank include end whippings or a storage bag, or must I buy them separately?
The 50 ft hank ships as a single coil with no factory whippings, clips or bag; add heat-shrink or tape for the ends and a hook or bin if you want organised storage.
