Value Collection 18550 Wire Rope Clip 7/8 in Forged Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 18550 is a forged steel wire rope clip designed to form secure end terminations and loop connections on wire rope assemblies. Constructed from galvanized forged steel, this clip resists corrosion in outdoor and marine-adjacent environments. It is sized for 7/8 inch rope diameter and requires a minimum of 4 clips per connection to achieve a properly rated termination. Riggers, ironworkers, and maintenance professionals install these clips on hoisting lines, guy wires, safety cables, and tie-down assemblies across industrial, construction, and general rigging applications.

This clip is suited for use on 7/8 inch wire rope in both new installations and field repairs. Common applications include crane rigging, guy wire tensioning, load securement, and overhead lifting assemblies. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for outdoor and moderately corrosive environments. A minimum of 4 clips is required per termination point to meet standard rigging practice for this rope diameter.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clips must be installed by qualified riggers following applicable ASME B30.26 or manufacturer torque and clip-spacing guidelines. Always power down or de-tension the cable assembly before removing or repositioning clips. The U-bolt must seat on the dead or short end of the wire rope, never on the live load-bearing side. Apply the minimum required number of clips and re-torque after initial loading.
