Columbus Mckinnon m247-2 Wire Rope Clip 5/16 in Galvanized 2PK

Product Description

The COLUMBUS MCKINNON m247-2 is a galvanized wire rope clip designed for use with 5/16-inch wire rope. Wire rope clips secure the dead end of a wire rope back onto the live end, forming a fixed loop or eye at the termination point. This pack includes 2 clips, with a minimum of 2 clips required per connection per standard rigging practice. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. Each connection requires a rope turnback of 5-1/4 inches to achieve a properly formed eye. Riggers, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this hardware.

These wire rope clips are suited for rigging, lifting, and securing applications across industrial, construction, and marine environments. The 5/16-inch clip size is commonly used with standard wire rope in light- to medium-duty rigging setups. The 2-clip pack aligns with the minimum clip count required for safe termination of 5/16-inch rope, making it a straightforward field replacement or new-installation option.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clip installation should be performed by a qualified rigger following applicable ASME B30.26 or OSHA rigging standards. Always apply the U-bolt saddle over the dead end of the rope, never over the live load-bearing end — follow the rule "never saddle a dead horse." Torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications and re-torque after initial load application. Inspect clips periodically for deformation, corrosion, or loosening.
