Bsc Preferred TWR118 Braided Rope Pulley Block

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED TWR118 is a smooth, round, firm-braid rope designed to hold its shape under sustained load. Constructed for demanding environments, it resists abrasion, chemicals, and marine organisms, making it suitable for both inland and coastal applications. The braid remains flexible and ties easily even after prolonged exposure to the elements. Typical users include marine riggers, maintenance technicians, and facilities personnel who need a reliable general-purpose rope that performs consistently across repeated use cycles. At approximately 4.7 pounds per unit, the TWR118 is manageable for single-person handling during installation or rigging tasks.

The TWR118 is well suited for pulley systems, block-and-tackle rigs, and other applications requiring a firm, round rope profile that tracks cleanly through sheaves and fairleads. Its smooth outer braid reduces friction at contact points, extending service life in high-cycle setups. The rope is appropriate for light industrial, marine, and general facility maintenance use where chemical resistance and shape retention are priorities.

Key Features

• Firm round braid maintains shape under sustained load
• Resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and marine organisms
• Remains flexible and knots easily after prolonged use
• Smooth surface profile suited for pulleys, blocks, and sheave systems
• Sold individually (each unit)

Compatibility

Equivalent replacement for part number S-17650. Designed as an OEM-style substitute for firm-braid rope applications in pulley and block systems.

Installation Notes

Inspect all pulleys, blocks, and sheaves for wear or damage before threading new rope through the system. Ensure rope diameter is matched to the sheave groove size to prevent premature wear or binding. Cut rope ends cleanly and seal or whip as appropriate to prevent fraying. Follow applicable rigging guidelines and load-rating standards for the specific application.
