Value Collection BDNA-C4390 Wire Rope Thimble 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-C4390 is a closed wire rope thimble designed to protect rope loops at termination points from wear, crushing, and abrasion. Sized for 1/8-inch rope diameter, this thimble is formed from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine-adjacent applications. The closed design holds the thimble in position within the eye splice or swage loop, preventing it from falling out during rigging and load-bearing tasks. Riggers, marine technicians, and industrial maintenance trades install this component wherever a wire rope end must be looped around a shackle, hook, or anchor point without degrading the rope at the bend.

This thimble is suited for light-duty wire rope assemblies using 1/8-inch diameter cable. Typical applications include guy-wire terminations, safety cable systems, antenna mast rigging, light structural tie-back lines, and general industrial rigging where a protected eye loop is required. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exterior installations exposed to moisture. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical for stocking in a service van or shop inventory for repeat rigging jobs.

Key Features

• Closed thimble design retains position inside the eye loop during assembly and use
• Fits 1/8-inch wire rope diameter
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in outdoor and damp environments
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for compact rigging hardware kits
• Protects rope from sharp-bend fatigue and wear at the termination point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rigging component compatible with standard 1/8-inch diameter wire rope assemblies requiring a closed thimble at eye-loop terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by riggers or maintenance technicians during wire rope assembly. The thimble is seated inside the eye loop before swaging, pressing, or hand-splicing the rope end around it. Always de-tension and secure the rope assembly before disassembly or replacement of any termination hardware. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and manufacturer load-rating guidelines when sizing hardware for a specific application.
