Value Collection 18530 Wire Rope Clip 1/2 in Forged Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 18530 is a forged steel wire rope clip designed to secure wire rope terminations and create fixed loops or dead-end connections in rigging and lifting applications. Constructed from galvanized forged steel, this clip resists corrosion and provides the mechanical strength required for load-bearing use. It is rated for 1/2 inch rope diameter and requires a minimum of three clips per connection to meet standard rigging practice. Weighing 0.08 pounds, the clip is compact and easy to handle in the field. Riggers, millwrights, and general contractors rely on this hardware for wire rope terminations across a wide range of jobsite and structural applications.

This wire rope clip is suited for use in residential and commercial construction, industrial rigging, overhead lifting setups, and general wire rope assembly. It is commonly installed when forming eye loops or securing rope ends to thimbles, turnbuckles, or anchor points. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture exposure is a concern. A minimum of three clips per installation is required per standard rigging guidelines to achieve rated holding strength.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clips should be installed by qualified riggers following applicable rigging standards and OSHA guidelines for wire rope terminations. Always power down or de-energize any associated lifting equipment before performing rope termination work. Use a minimum of three clips per connection, spacing them per manufacturer and industry standards to achieve full rated grip. Never overtighten or substitute clips of a different size for the specified rope diameter.
