National Mfg N248-278 Zinc Wire Cable Clamp 1/8 in 20 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N248-278 is a zinc wire cable clamp sized for 1/8-inch wire rope. It is used to form a secure eye or loop at the end of a wire rope by clamping the rope back onto itself. The saddle base is grooved to conform to the rope profile, increasing contact area and grip strength. This clamp is a standard fastening component used in rigging, tie-down, and mechanical support applications across trade and construction settings. Each package contains 20 clamps sold loose.

This clamp is suited for light-duty wire rope termination work in residential and commercial applications. Typical uses include forming fixed loops on support cables, safety lines, and tie-back assemblies. The zinc construction provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Trades commonly using this hardware include electrical, mechanical, and general construction contractors working with 1/8-inch wire rope assemblies.

Installation Notes

Wire cable clamps are typically installed by mechanical or general construction trades following established rigging practices. Before installing, ensure the wire rope is free of fraying or kinking at the termination point. The U-bolt should be placed over the dead end of the rope with the saddle on the live end, following the standard never-saddle-a-dead-horse practice. Torque fasteners according to the wire rope manufacturer or applicable rigging standards.
