National Mfg N176-834 Zinc Rope Thimble 3/8 in 10 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N176-834 is a zinc-coated rope thimble designed to form a secure eye or loop at the end of wire rope. Manufactured from cold rolled steel with a zinc finish, this thimble protects the loop end of wire rope from excessive wear, chafing, and abrasion. It fits 3/8-inch wire rope and is sold in a package of 10. Installers and rigging professionals use this thimble to maintain the integrity of looped wire rope terminations in demanding load-bearing and tie-down applications.

This rope thimble is suited for use in rigging, lifting, anchoring, and securing applications where wire rope must be terminated with a clean, protected loop or eye. Common installation scenarios include marine, construction, agricultural, and general industrial environments where wire rope sees repeated stress at connection points. The pack of 10 supports both single-job needs and ongoing service stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by riggers, tradespeople, or experienced DIYers following standard wire rope termination practices. Seat the wire rope fully into the thimble groove before applying the swage fitting or wire rope clip to secure the loop. Ensure the rope clip saddle bears on the live end of the rope and the U-bolt bears on the dead end, following applicable ASME or OSHA rigging guidelines. Inspect the thimble and rope end for wear or deformation before placing any assembly into service.
