This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, marine professionals, and construction workers who need to secure wire rope in 10mm applications. The key benefit is creating reliable loops and temporary joins with a galvanised finish for corrosion resistance. A caveat is the need for careful assembly to ensure optimal strength and longevity. These grips are manufactured from mild steel with a galvanised coating, suitable for rigging on boats and land-based applications. The pack contains 10 units.

These grips are primarily used to create secure loops in wire rope assemblies or to make temporary joins in wire rope, such as in rigging applications on boats or for securing items on land.
These specific grips (SFCOMG10) are designed for 10mm diameter galvanised commercial wire rope.
Greasing the threads prevents them from seizing during tightening and allows for more accurate torque application, ensuring the grip is secured effectively and can be adjusted if necessary.
You should check and re-tighten the torque settings after the initial 24-hour settling period and after the first application of load. Subsequently, periodically check the torque settings during the service life of the assembly.
The galvanised coating provides a protective layer of zinc that prevents rust and corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the grips, especially in marine or outdoor environments.
While these grips provide a secure connection, for permanent, high-stress structural applications, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified engineer or rigging specialist to ensure the system meets all safety requirements.
The recommended spacing between grips should be at least 6 times the diameter of the wire rope to ensure proper load distribution and secure fastening.
Ensure threads are properly greased. Check that the correct size grip for 10mm wire rope is being used. Verify that the wire rope is not damaged or deformed.
Re-check and tighten all nuts to the recommended torque settings immediately after load application. Ensure grips are spaced correctly (at least 6x rope diameter apart) and oriented properly (U-bolt on the dead end).
Light surface rust can be normal for galvanised items. Heavy rust or flaking indicates the protective coating is compromised. Clean off light rust with a wire brush and re-assess. Replace the grip if corrosion is severe or structural integrity is suspected.
Ensure the 'U' bolt and saddle are aligned correctly with the wire rope. Tighten nuts incrementally and alternately to ensure even pressure is applied across the rope.
