Value Collection A997630 Wire Rope Thimble 1/8 in Ss 5 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997630 is a stainless steel wire rope thimble sized for 1/8-inch rope diameter, sold in a pack of five. Thimbles protect wire rope loops from deformation and abrasion at termination points, maintaining loop geometry where a swage fitting, shackle, or fastener is attached. Fabricated from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, this thimble is suited for rigging, lifting, and tensioning applications where the rope terminus must bear a load without kinking or crushing the wire strands. Riggers, marine service technicians, and maintenance tradespeople regularly use thimbles of this type as a standard component in wire rope assembly work.

This thimble is appropriate for light-duty wire rope rigging applications using 1/8-inch wire rope. Common install scenarios include guy wire terminations, safety cable assemblies, overhead rigging supports, and general industrial or marine cable management. The pack quantity of five makes it practical for service kits or multi-point rigging jobs completed in a single visit.

Key Features

• Fits 1/8-inch wire rope diameter for precise loop protection
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Groove profile maintains rope geometry and prevents strand deformation at the termination loop
• Sold in a 5-piece pack to support multi-point rigging tasks
• Lightweight at approximately 0.01 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style rigging accessory compatible with 1/8-inch wire rope assemblies requiring thimble-style loop protection at termination points.

Installation Notes

Wire rope thimbles are installed by a rigger or qualified maintenance technician as part of a swaged, clamped, or spliced wire rope termination. Before working on any tensioned cable assembly, relieve all load and secure the system. Ensure the thimble is fully seated in the rope loop before applying a swage sleeve or cable clamp, as a partially seated thimble will compromise loop integrity under load. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and local safety regulations when assembling wire rope terminations.
