National Mfg N248-336 Zinc Wire Cable Clamp 5/8 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N248-336 is a zinc wire cable clamp sized for 5/8-inch wire rope. It is used to form a secure eye or loop at the end of wire rope by clamping the live and dead ends together. The grooved saddle base conforms to the wire rope profile, increasing contact area and grip strength. This clamp is packaged in a quantity of 5 and arrives boxed loose. It is a standard hardware item installed by riggers, contractors, and maintenance technicians in load-bearing and tie-off applications.

This cable clamp is suited for residential and commercial applications where wire rope terminations are required. Common use cases include guy wire anchoring, fence tensioning, overhead cable runs, and light rigging. The grooved saddle design makes it appropriate for standard wire rope construction in typical field installations. Each package contains 5 clamps, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple terminations on a single run or across several anchor points.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers or contractors following accepted wire rope termination practices. Always de-tension and secure the wire rope before fitting or adjusting clamps. Follow manufacturer torque and spacing guidelines for the clamp size and rope diameter being used, and consult applicable standards such as ASME B30.26 for rigging hardware requirements. Never overtighten to the point of crushing the wire rope core, and inspect clamp condition before each use in load-bearing service.
