Value Collection 838 00016 Wire Rope Compression Sleeve

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 838 00016 is a round stop compression sleeve designed for use with 5/32-inch diameter wire rope. Made from copper, this sleeve is swaged or pressed onto the rope end to form a secure, fixed termination point. The round stop profile creates a positive stop that prevents the rope from pulling through a fitting, bracket, or panel opening. Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable deformation during compression, ensuring a tight mechanical connection. This type of sleeve is commonly installed by riggers, maintenance technicians, and facilities personnel working with wire rope assemblies in light-duty lifting, tensioning, or support applications.

This compression sleeve is suited for use in residential and commercial maintenance environments, as well as light industrial and trade applications where 5/32-inch wire rope requires a terminated end stop. Typical installations include wire rope guide systems, tension supports, display rigging, and mechanical assemblies that use small-diameter wire rope. The round stop design seats against a hole or channel edge to anchor the rope in position without additional hardware.

Key Features

• Fits 5/32-inch diameter wire rope for a precise, matched compression fit
• Copper material deforms evenly during compression for a secure mechanical grip
• Round stop profile creates a positive end stop against fittings or panel surfaces
• Copper construction resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments
• Lightweight at 0.013 pounds per sleeve, minimizing added load to the assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round stop compression sleeve for 5/32-inch wire rope. Verify rope diameter and sleeve inner diameter before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a swaging tool or compression tool rated for the sleeve diameter and material. Position the sleeve at the correct location on the wire rope end before compression, as the sleeve cannot be repositioned once swaged. Inspect the compressed sleeve for cracks or incomplete closure before placing the assembly into service. Always follow applicable industry standards and load ratings for the wire rope and termination hardware being used.
