National Mfg N248-328 Zinc Wire Cable Clamp 1/2 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N248-328 is a zinc wire cable clamp sized for 1/2-inch wire rope. It is used to form a secure eye or loop at the end of a wire rope by clamping the live and dead ends together. The saddle base is grooved to conform to the wire rope profile, increasing grip strength and reducing slippage under load. Each package contains 10 clamps sold loose. This hardware is commonly installed by riggers, electricians, contractors, and maintenance technicians working with wire rope assemblies in industrial, commercial, and utility applications.

This cable clamp is suited for 1/2-inch wire rope termination work in a range of settings, including overhead lifting assists, guy wire anchoring, structural tie-downs, and general rigging applications. The grooved saddle design distributes clamping force evenly across the rope body. Sold in a 10-pack, the quantity supports job-lot use on projects requiring multiple terminations or redundant anchor points.

Key Features

• Grooved saddle base forms to wire rope for stronger, more secure grip
• Sized for 1/2-inch wire rope — forms eyes or loops at rope ends
• Zinc construction provides corrosion resistance for general-use environments
• Package quantity of 10 clamps supports multi-point rigging jobs
• Sold boxed loose for easy job-site distribution

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style clamp for use with 1/2-inch wire rope in general rigging and cable termination applications.

Installation Notes

Wire cable clamps are typically installed by qualified riggers or maintenance technicians following applicable ASME or OSHA rigging standards. Always orient the saddle on the live end of the rope and the U-bolt on the dead end — never reverse saddle orientation under load. Torque fasteners evenly and re-check after initial load application. Inspect clamps periodically for signs of loosening, corrosion, or deformation.
