Value Collection 50441 Wire Rope Thimble 3/16 in Galvanized Steel 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 50441 is a galvanized steel wire rope thimble designed to protect rope loops from wear and deformation at connection points. Thimbles are fitted inside a rope eye or loop to maintain the loop's shape and prevent the rope from being crushed or abraded where it contacts a hook, shackle, or anchor point. Constructed from steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance, this thimble is sized for 3/16-inch diameter wire rope. Each package contains 10 thimbles. Riggers, marine installers, and general contractors commonly use thimbles when fabricating wire rope assemblies for lifting, towing, and securing applications.

This thimble is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial rigging applications wherever 3/16-inch wire rope is terminated with a swaged or hand-laid loop. Typical scenarios include guy wire anchoring, cable railings, safety lines, and general mechanical rigging. The galvanized finish makes these thimbles appropriate for outdoor and mildly corrosive environments. They are sold in a package of 10, making them practical for shops and field crews that fabricate multiple rope assemblies at a time.

Key Features

• Sized for 3/16-inch diameter wire rope
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Maintains rope loop shape and prevents abrasion at connection points
• Package of 10 thimbles for multi-assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard thimble for use with 3/16-inch diameter wire rope in swaged, hand-spliced, or clip-secured loop terminations.

Installation Notes

Thimble installation is typically performed by riggers or qualified tradespeople during wire rope assembly fabrication. Before beginning, ensure all load-bearing equipment is de-tensioned and secured. The thimble is seated inside the rope eye prior to swaging, clipping, or splicing the loop closed. Follow applicable ASME, OSHA, or job-specific rigging standards for proper assembly and load rating compliance.
