Richelieu America Ltd. 642601 Paracord 550 Nylon Rope

Product Description

The RICHELIEU AMERICA LTD. 642601 is a 5/32-inch diameter, 50-foot length of Paracord 550 nylon rope designed for utility, rigging, and general-purpose applications. It carries a 110-pound safety work load rating and features a diamond braid construction that delivers consistent strength along the full length of the rope. Supplied in a hanging hank for easy storage and deployment, this cord is suited for trade and contractor use wherever a reliable lightweight line is needed. The 550 designation indicates the minimum break strength class, making it appropriate for tie-down, bundling, and light-duty load-securing tasks on job sites.

This paracord is appropriate for use in residential and commercial construction, facility maintenance, and general contractor applications. The diamond braid pattern resists kinking and unraveling during handling, making it practical for repeated use. It fits into the Hardware, Building Materials, and Fasteners category alongside rope, twine, and rigging accessories. Contractors, tradespeople, and maintenance crews typically keep this size on hand for securing materials, routing lines, and temporary tie-off applications that fall within the 110-pound safety work load limit.

Installation Notes

Confirm that the intended load does not exceed the 110-pound safety work load before use. Cut to length with a sharp knife or shears and seal nylon ends with heat to prevent fraying. Inspect the rope for abrasion, kinking, or core damage before each use and retire any length showing visible wear. Always follow applicable job-site safety protocols and load-securing guidelines for the specific application.
