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.
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.

Brazing Alloys
Use these brazing alloys with a variety of metals.
Alloys without cadmium are safer to use than brazing alloys with cadmium and help meet industry regulations.
BAg-1 and BAg-5 alloys are for most general purpose applications. They contain silver, which produces a smoother flow when melted to create a stronger joint than RBCuZn-C.
Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps
When melted, these alloys form a thin liquid that easily flows into smaller gaps than standard brazing alloys. They don’t contain cadmium, so they’re safer than other brazing alloys with cadmium and help you meet industry regulations.
BAg-36 alloys are often used in the piping and automotive industry.
BAg-34 alloys flow and spread easier than BAg-36 alloys. They’re often used in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

High-Strength Brazing Alloys
Create stronger bonds than standard brazing alloys.
Brazing alloys without cadmium are safer than brazing alloys that contain cadmium and help meet industry regulations.
Brazing Alloys for Furnace Brazing
Join metal in inert atmospheres or vacuum conditions, such as furnace brazing. These alloys don’t contain cadmium, so they’re safer than other brazing alloys with cadmium. They may also help you meet industry regulations.
