Kits include clamps and thimbles to protect the inside of wire rope loops from fraying. Clamps must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end.
Galvanized steel and iron clamps and thimbles are corrosion resistant.
18-8 stainless steel clamps and thimbles are chemical resistant.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
