Empire 114B0038 Malleable Iron Turnbuckle Adjuster 610 Lb

Product Description

The EMPIRE 114B0038 is a malleable iron turnbuckle adjuster designed for tensioning and adjusting the length of wire rope, cable, rod, or strap assemblies. It accepts a 3/8-inch thread diameter and carries a working load limit of 610 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-duty rigging, bracing, and support applications. The malleable iron construction provides adequate strength and ductility for general-purpose use in trade and industrial settings. Licensed riggers, HVAC installers, and general contractors commonly install this type of hardware for equipment bracing, duct support, and structural tie-back work.

This turnbuckle adjuster is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where controlled tension is needed in a fixed or adjustable support assembly. Typical uses include cable bracing for ductwork, conduit support systems, equipment anchoring, and general rigging scenarios that require field-adjustable tensioning. The 3/8-inch thread size fits standard eye bolts, hook ends, and jaw fittings of matching thread diameter.

Key Features

• 610 lb working load limit for moderate-duty tensioning applications
• 3/8-inch thread diameter compatible with standard rigging end fittings
• Malleable iron body provides ductility and resistance to impact loading
• Turnbuckle adjuster style allows in-line length and tension adjustment without disassembly
• Compact and lightweight at 0.28 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation turnbuckle adjuster for assemblies using 3/8-inch threaded end fittings in light-duty rigging and support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or tradesperson familiar with tension hardware and applicable load requirements. Always de-tension the assembly before installing or adjusting the turnbuckle. Do not exceed the stated working load limit of 610 lb, and ensure all mating end fittings are fully threaded and secured with jam nuts or locking wire where required by code or application. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use if threads are stripped or deformed.
