Apex Tools Group Llc T7637503 Ss Light Duty Thimble 3/16 in

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC T7637503 is a light duty stainless steel wire rope thimble designed to protect rope loops from wear and deformation at connection points. Sized for 3/16 inch wire rope, this thimble fits inside an eye splice or swaged loop to maintain the rope's natural bend radius and prevent metal-on-metal abrasion at shackles, hooks, and turnbuckles. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for marine, outdoor, and wet environments. Sold in a package of 10 units, the T7637503 suits riggers, marine technicians, and general trade professionals who need reliable hardware in quantity.

This thimble is appropriate for light duty rigging applications where 3/16 inch wire rope is terminated with a loop or eye. Typical use cases include sailboat standing rigging, dock lines, lifting slings, cable railings, and general-purpose wire rope assemblies in residential and light commercial settings. Stainless steel material makes it well suited for saltwater and high-humidity environments where carbon steel hardware would corrode rapidly.

Installation Notes

Thimble installation is typically performed by riggers or marine technicians during wire rope termination. Always de-tension and secure the wire rope assembly before disassembling or replacing terminal hardware. Seat the thimble fully inside the rope loop before applying a swage fitting or clip, ensuring the rope bears evenly against the thimble groove. Follow applicable rigging standards and load rating requirements for the specific application.
