Apex Tools Group Llc T7670629 Wire Rope Thimble 1/4 in

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC T7670629 is a 1/4-inch wire rope thimble with an electro galvanized finish, sold in bulk quantities of 10 units. A wire rope thimble protects the eye of a wire rope loop from wear and deformation at the point where a hook, shackle, or other connector bears against the cable. The electro galvanized coating provides a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for general rigging and cable management applications. This thimble is sized for 1/4-inch wire rope and is the type of hardware installed by riggers, marine technicians, contractors, and maintenance professionals working with wire rope assemblies.

Wire rope thimbles in this size are commonly used in light to medium-duty rigging setups, including equipment tie-downs, cable railings, guy-wire anchoring, and general lifting or tensioning configurations. The 1/4-inch size fits standard 1/4-inch wire rope and is appropriate for residential and light commercial rigging tasks. The bulk pack of 10 makes it practical for shops, contractors, and service trucks that need to keep stock on hand for repeated installations or repairs.

Key Features

• Sized for 1/4-inch wire rope for precise fitment in the rope eye

• Grooved channel profile distributes load and prevents rope deformation at the eye
• Sold in a bulk pack of 10 units for job-site and shop inventory efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation thimble for use with 1/4-inch wire rope in general rigging, tie-down, and cable assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Wire rope thimbles are installed by riggers, contractors, or maintenance technicians during eye splice or swaged terminal assembly. Ensure the thimble is fully seated in the rope eye before applying a swage fitting, clip, or ferrule. Inspect the thimble groove and coating for damage before installation, and never reuse a deformed or cracked thimble. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and the wire rope manufacturer guidelines for load ratings and assembly procedures.
