Manufactured from hot rolled mild steel with a galvanized zinc-plated finish, this thimble fits 3\/8 inch diameter wire rope and measures 3 inches in length. It is installed by riggers, marine technicians, and general contractors anywhere a wire rope eye must be formed around a fitting or anchor point. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine-adjacent environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thimble is suited for use in rigging, lifting slings, tie-down assemblies, and guy wire applications where wire rope must terminate at a shackle, turnbuckle, or clevis. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial installations wherever a 3\/8 inch wire rope eye is required. Because thimbles function as wear pads rather than load-bearing components, no working load limit is established for this part — it is always used in conjunction with a properly rated rope and end fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects wire rope from cuts, kinking, and abrasion at eye terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 3\/8 inch diameter wire rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot rolled mild steel construction with galvanized zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty profile for use in demanding rigging and tie-down applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot rated for independent load-carrying use — functions as a rope protection insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8 inch diameter wire rope in standard eye-termination assemblies using shackles, turnbuckles, or clevis fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by riggers or qualified tradespeople familiar with wire rope termination practices. When opening the thimble to insert a fitting, ensure the points are properly realigned and fully closed before use. Inspect the thimble carefully for cracks before and after installation. Thimbles are not designed for independent load carrying and must always be paired with a properly rated wire rope and end fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Rope Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Rolled Mild Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized \/ Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 020418091735\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6260203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346659803442,"sku":"6260203","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310471023.jpg?v=1782086992","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-6260203-wire-rope-thimble-3-8-inch-galvanized-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
