Value Collection 20940 Wire Rope Clip 9/16 in Malleable Iron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20940 is a galvanized malleable iron wire rope clip designed to secure wire rope ends and form load-bearing loops or terminations. The U-bolt saddle-and-nut clip style is the standard method for field-terminating wire rope without swaging equipment. At 9/16 inch rope diameter, this clip fits mid-range wire rope commonly used in rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to absorb shock loads without brittle fracture, and the galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance for outdoor and marine-adjacent environments. Riggers, millwrights, and general contractors are the typical installers.

This clip is suited for both light industrial and construction-site applications where 9/16 inch wire rope is terminated at turnbuckles, pad eyes, or anchor points. Typical uses include guy-wire assemblies, crane and hoist rigging, safety cables, and structural tie-back systems. A minimum of 3 clips is required per termination to achieve rated holding capacity, consistent with standard rigging practice. Each package contains 1 clip, so order quantity should reflect the number of clips needed per installation point.

Key Features

• Fits 9/16 inch diameter wire rope — mid-range size for moderate lifting and rigging loads
• Malleable iron body resists brittle fracture under shock or dynamic loading
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and humid environments
• Minimum 3 clips required per rope termination to achieve full holding strength
• Single-piece clip sold individually — order multiples as needed per termination point

Compatibility

Designed as a standard U-bolt style wire rope clip for use with 9/16 inch wire rope in general rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clips must be installed by qualified riggers or tradespeople familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Always apply the saddle to the live (load-bearing) side of the rope and the U-bolt to the dead (short) end. Torque nuts to the fastener specification for this clip size, then re-torque after initial loading. Never use wire rope clips as a substitute for swaged or spelter socket terminations in overhead lifting applications without verifying the rated capacity of the assembly.
