Apex Tools Group Llc T7670669 Wire Rope Thimble 5/8 in Galvanized

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC T7670669 is a 5/8-inch galvanized wire rope thimble sold in a bulk pack of 10 units. A wire rope thimble is a grooved metal insert fitted into a looped or spliced end of wire rope to protect the rope from sharp bending stress and abrasion at the contact point. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in outdoor, marine-adjacent, and industrial environments. Riggers, ironworkers, and general contractors install these thimbles when terminating wire rope at shackles, hooks, or anchor points to extend rope service life and maintain load integrity at the eye.

Wire rope thimbles in this size range are commonly used in rigging assemblies, lifting slings, tie-down systems, and cable railing applications. The 5/8-inch size corresponds to wire rope of matching nominal diameter. This bulk pack of 10 is suited for contractors, rigging shops, and maintenance crews that regularly terminate wire rope and need consistent inventory on hand. Galvanized thimbles perform in outdoor and light industrial settings where moisture exposure is a factor.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style thimble for use with 5/8-inch diameter wire rope in general rigging, tie-down, and cable termination applications.

Installation Notes

Wire rope thimbles are installed by qualified riggers or ironworkers as part of a swaged, Flemish-eye, or hand-tucked splice termination. Before installation, de-tension and secure the wire rope to prevent movement. Ensure the thimble groove matches the nominal rope diameter to avoid undersized or oversized fitment, which can compromise load rating. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and manufacturer load ratings when assembling lifting or load-bearing assemblies.
