Value Collection 40400 Wire Rope Thimble Clip 1/8 in Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40400 is a galvanized steel wire rope thimble clip designed to secure wire rope terminations and prevent rope from pulling through loop connections. The clip fits 1/8 inch rope diameter and is constructed from steel with a galvanized finish to resist corrosion in outdoor and marine-adjacent environments. This hardware is used by riggers, electricians, and general contractors when forming secure eye loops in wire rope assemblies. The galvanized coating provides a layer of protection against rust and oxidation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

This thimble clip is used in wire rope rigging applications where a reliable loop termination is required. Common installation scenarios include guy wire assemblies, safety cable systems, antenna mast bracing, and light overhead rigging setups. The 1/8 inch rope diameter sizing makes it appropriate for lighter-duty wire rope work found in residential and light commercial settings. Installers working with galvanized wire rope will find this clip a direct match for corrosion-resistance continuity throughout the assembly.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard thimble clip replacement or new-installation component for 1/8 inch diameter wire rope rigging assemblies.

Installation Notes

Thimble clips are typically installed by riggers or qualified tradespeople following recognized rigging standards. Before installation, ensure the wire rope and associated hardware are de-tensioned and safe to handle. Clips should be installed with the U-bolt bearing on the dead end of the rope, not the live load-bearing strand. Consult applicable OSHA rigging guidelines and manufacturer torque specifications for proper clip installation sequence and saddle orientation.
