Wire Rope Compression Sleeves—For Lifting
Install with a compression tool to create a strong, permanent loop. Compression sleeves are also known as ferrules, crimps, swaging, and splicing sleeves. They're compatible with Nicopress compression tools.
Tin-plated copper sleeves have mild corrosion resistance.
Black-oxide copper sleeves have a dark surface color and mild corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel sleeves have excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals.
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.

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.
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.

Wire Rope Stops—Not for Lifting
Aluminum stops are an economical alternative to copper.
Copper stops are stronger than aluminum.
Zinc-plated copper stops are more corrosion resistant than uncoated copper.
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.
