No, these clips are not rated for lifting or load-bearing applications.
These clips are specifically designed for 5mm wire rope.
For optimal security, it is recommended to use two clips per loop.
They feature a zinc-plated galvanised finish which is highly corrosion-resistant, but they should be monitored if used in extremely harsh outdoor conditions.
You only need a standard spanner to tighten the bolts.
The key dimensions are 26mm length, 11.3mm width, 21mm height, 5mm capacity, 8mm bolt spacing, and 22mm plate length.
Ensure you are using the correct 5mm diameter rope and that the nuts are tightened evenly with a spanner.
Check the threads for debris or rust. If the thread is damaged, replace the clip to ensure safety.
Do not over-tighten the plate; apply just enough pressure to hold the cable firmly in place.
To install, loop your 5mm wire rope around the intended anchor point or thimble. Place the wire on either side of the threaded bolt, ensuring both segments are properly aligned. Place the pressure plate over the wires and tighten the nuts firmly using a spanner. For maximum security, it is recommended to use at least two clips per loop. To maintain the integrity of the clips, inspect them periodically for signs of loose nuts or environmental corrosion. Keep them dry where possible to extend the life of the zinc plating, and replace any clips that show signs of deformation or thread stripping.
