Value Collection BDNA-C4391 Wire Rope Thimble 3/16 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-C4391 is a closed-style wire rope thimble designed to protect wire rope loops at termination points. Formed from galvanized steel, it resists corrosion in outdoor and marine-adjacent environments. The thimble fits into a swaged or hand-formed eye splice and prevents the wire rope from kinking or abrading where it contacts a shackle, hook, or anchor point. It accommodates 3/16 inch diameter wire rope. Riggers, millwrights, and general contractors install this type of hardware during wire rope assembly on hoisting, lashing, and tensioning applications.

This thimble is suited for light-to-medium-duty wire rope rigging applications where a clean, protected loop termination is required. Common uses include guy-wire anchoring, safety cable systems, tension rigging, and general lifting assemblies. The closed design keeps the thimble seated within the eye loop, preventing it from shifting or dislodging during service. It is typically used alongside wire rope clips, swage fittings, or turnbuckles to complete a rigging assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by riggers or qualified tradespeople during wire rope assembly. Form the wire rope eye around the thimble groove before applying wire rope clips or swage fittings to secure the loop. Follow the wire rope and fitting manufacturer load ratings and applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Never exceed the rated capacity of the wire rope or any hardware component in the assembly.
