Value Collection 18520 Wire Rope Clip 3/8 in Forged Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 18520 is a forged steel wire rope clip designed to form secure end-terminations and connections on wire rope assemblies. The clip uses a U-bolt and saddle configuration to clamp wire rope without cutting or deforming the strands, maintaining load-bearing integrity at the termination point. Finished with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, this clip is suited for outdoor rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications. Installation requires a minimum of two clips per termination. Riggers, millwrights, and general contractors working with wire rope systems will find this clip consistent with standard industry practice for wire rope end fittings.

The 18520 wire rope clip is sized for 3/8-inch diameter wire rope and is appropriate for use in industrial rigging, overhead lifting, hoisting setups, safety lines, and structural tie-back applications. The galvanized finish makes it suitable for exposed outdoor environments where moisture and mild corrosives are present. This clip is sold individually and is typically used in sets of two or more per connection point, consistent with wire rope clip installation standards.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch diameter wire rope. A minimum of two clips are required per termination point per standard rigging practice.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clips must be installed by a qualified rigger or mechanical contractor familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Always power down or de-tension the rigging system before installing or inspecting clips. The saddle of the clip must bear against the live end of the wire rope, not the dead end — never saddle a dead horse. Inspect clips for proper torque and re-tighten after initial load is applied.
