Wire Rope Compression Sleeve and Thimble Kits—Not for Lifting
Compression sleeves create a strong permanent loop while the thimbles protect the inside of wire rope loops from fraying.
Zinc-plated steel thimbles are corrosion resistant.
18-8 stainless steel thimbles have excellent corrosion resistance.
Warning: Fittings must match rope diameter and be installed correctly to obtain maximum holding power. Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
