Value Collection 77600557 Wire Rope Sleeve 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 77600557 is an aluminum compression sleeve designed for use with 5/16-inch diameter wire rope. Compression sleeves, also called ferrules or stop sleeves, are swaged or crimped over wire rope ends to form secure, load-bearing terminations and loop connections. This sleeve is constructed from aluminum, making it lightweight and resistant to corrosion in light-duty rigging, lifting, and securing applications. Riggers, ironworkers, and maintenance professionals install these sleeves with a mechanical swaging tool or hydraulic crimper to achieve a permanent, reliable wire rope connection.

This sleeve is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where 5/16-inch wire rope is used for guy wires, safety cables, cargo tie-downs, or structural bracing. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for contractors, maintenance departments, and supply houses stocking wire rope hardware in volume.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and lightweight handling
• Designed for swaging or crimping with standard mechanical or hydraulic sleeve tools
• Compact form factor at 0.044 pounds per unit — easy to stock and handle in bulk
• Suitable for rigging, safety cable, guy wire, and tie-down applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression sleeve for use with 5/16-inch diameter wire rope across general rigging and securing applications.

Installation Notes

Compression sleeves should be installed by a qualified rigger or tradesperson using a properly sized swaging or crimping tool matched to the sleeve diameter. Before installation, verify that rope diameter and sleeve size are compatible to ensure full crimp engagement. Do not hammer or improvise the crimping process, as incomplete swaging compromises connection integrity and load capacity. Inspect the finished termination for uniform crimp and absence of cracking before placing the assembly into service.
