Apex Tools Group Llc T7670639 Wire Rope Thimble 5/16 in

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC T7670639 is a 5/16 inch wire rope thimble with an electro galvanized finish, designed to protect wire rope loops from wear and deformation at termination points. The thimble fits inside a swaged or hand-tucked loop to maintain the rope's natural bend radius, preventing kinking and extending service life at shackles, hooks, and anchor points. Sold in bulk packs of 10, this thimble is a standard component in rigging, lifting, and tie-down assemblies across construction, marine, and industrial applications. Licensed riggers and trade professionals stock these as consumable hardware on wire rope termination jobs.

This thimble is suited for use in residential and commercial rigging setups where 5/16 inch wire rope is terminated with swaged sleeves, clips, or wire rope clamps. Common install scenarios include crane rigging, load securing, guy wire assemblies, and structural tie-back applications. The electro galvanized coating provides a base level of corrosion resistance appropriate for general-purpose and light outdoor use. The bulk pack of 10 units is practical for contractors and service professionals who terminate multiple rope ends per job.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed riggers or experienced tradespeople following applicable ASME B30 or OSHA rigging guidelines. Seat the thimble fully inside the rope loop before applying swage sleeves or wire rope clips, and confirm the thimble is not displaced during clip tightening. Inspect the thimble for deformation or corrosion before reuse in critical lifting applications. Never use a damaged or undersized thimble in overhead lifting assemblies.
