It is important to ensure wire rope clips are installed properly. Incorrect installation can reduce the
working load limit by 40%. Below are general guidelines for installing wire rope clips.
Turn back specified length of wire rope from thimble (please refer tables given below). Put first clip one saddle width from
seized “dead end” (Figure 1). Seat “live end” (load carrying) of the wire rope in saddle and position U-bolt over “dead end.”
Tighten nuts evenly to proper torque.
Turnback
Put the second clip as near the loop or thimble as possible (Figure 2). Install nuts firmly but do not yet tighten to proper
torque.
Install all remaining clips equally spaced between the first two clips (Figure 3). Install nuts firmly but do not yet tighten
to proper torque.
Apply light tension to wire rope assembly to take up rope slack and then tighten all nuts evenly to proper torque.
