National Mfg N176-792 Zinc Rope Thimble 1/8 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N176-792 is a zinc rope thimble designed for forming a secure eye or loop on wire rope. The thimble fits into the bend of the loop to protect the wire rope from abrasion and deformation at the contact point, maintaining the structural integrity of the assembly. Sized for 1/8-inch wire rope, this thimble is a standard component in rigging, tie-down, and general wire rope termination work. It is installed by trade professionals including riggers, ironworkers, and general contractors who work with wire rope hardware on a routine basis.

This thimble is suited for light-duty rigging and wire rope loop termination applications where a 1/8-inch rope diameter is specified. Common use cases include cable assemblies, safety lines, and tie-back systems in both residential and light commercial settings. The package contains 10 thimbles per unit, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple wire rope terminations in a single installation.

Key Features

• Sized for 1/8-inch wire rope — provides a snug fit at the eye or loop termination
• Zinc construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for general-use environments
• Grooved channel protects wire rope from kinking and wear at the bend point
• Packaged loose in a box — 10 thimbles per package for multi-termination jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rope hardware component for use with 1/8-inch diameter wire rope in standard eye and loop termination assemblies.

Installation Notes

Zinc rope thimbles are installed by riggers, ironworkers, or general tradespeople as part of a wire rope termination. Before installing, ensure the wire rope end is properly prepared and free of fraying. The thimble should be seated fully in the loop before applying a cable clamp or swage fitting — never allow the fitting to seat against bare wire rope without the thimble in place. Follow applicable load ratings and rigging standards for the specific application.
