Value Collection 18540 Wire Rope Clip 5/8 in Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 18540 is a forged carbon steel wire rope clip designed to form secure end terminations and loops on wire rope assemblies. The clip features a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in outdoor and industrial environments. With a 5/8-inch rope diameter rating and a thread length of 1-7/16 inches on the U-bolt, this clip meets Type II, Class 1 requirements per federal specification FF-C-450. Installation requires a minimum of three clips per termination to achieve rated holding strength. Riggers, maintenance technicians, and industrial contractors install this hardware on hoisting, lifting, and lashing applications.

This clip is suited for use in rigging, tie-down, and wire rope termination applications across construction, marine, and industrial maintenance settings. It accommodates 5/8-inch wire rope and is sold as a single clip. When building a loop or dead-end termination, installers must use the minimum required number of clips — three for this rope diameter — spaced and torqued per the manufacturer and applicable rigging standards to maintain load integrity.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clips must be installed by qualified riggers or maintenance personnel following ASME B30.26 or applicable rigging standards. Always apply the saddle to the live end of the rope and the U-bolt to the dead end — never saddle a dead horse. Torque all nuts to the values specified in the applicable rigging standard and re-torque after initial load application. Inspect clip fasteners regularly for loosening in service.
