Value Collection BDNA-C81133 Wire Rope Thimble 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-C81133 is a closed wire rope thimble designed to protect rope loops at termination points in rigging and lifting assemblies. Sized for 1/4-inch rope diameter, this thimble is formed from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine-adjacent applications. The closed design keeps the rope seated within the groove during use, reducing wear and distortion at the eye splice or swaged connection. It is typically installed by riggers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with wire rope slings, hoisting systems, and cable rigging setups.

This thimble is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty rigging applications where 1/4-inch wire rope is terminated with swaged sleeves, wire rope clips, or eye splices. Common installation environments include industrial rigging, construction equipment, fall protection anchor lines, and general mechanical cable systems. The galvanized finish makes it a practical choice for applications exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.

Key Features

• Closed thimble design keeps rope seated and prevents slippage at the eye
• Sized for 1/4-inch rope diameter
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Protects rope loop from wear and deformation at termination points
• Compatible with swaged sleeves, wire rope clips, and eye splice terminations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard closed thimble for use with 1/4-inch diameter wire rope in general rigging and cable termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers or maintenance technicians. De-energize and de-tension the cable assembly before replacing or installing a thimble. The thimble should be fully seated within the rope loop before applying swaged sleeves or wire rope clips. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and manufacturer load rating guidelines for the complete termination assembly.
