Dayton 1/8 in Stainless Steel Clip

This Dayton 2VKG6 U-bolt clip secures 1/8 in stainless-steel wire rope in lifting and rigging assemblies. The forged 304 stainless-steel body resists corrosion in marine and outdoor environments. A silver finish provides easy visual inspection of the connection. The clip is rated for lifting applications when installed correctly.

For riggers using 1/8 in stainless rope

The clip suits maintenance crews, marine technicians and industrial riggers who terminate 1/8 in stainless-steel wire strand core rope. It requires a 3 1/4 in rope turnback and a torque wrench capable of 4.5 ft-lb. Installers who cannot meet the turnback length or torque value should choose a different termination method.

1/8 in maximum rope diameter

The clip accepts wire rope up to 1/8 in diameter and is fabricated from cast 304 stainless steel for lifting duty. The 4.5 ft-lb minimum installation torque is the critical figure that determines whether the joint reaches rated strength. Verify rope diameter and torque capability before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/8 in U-bolt clip and what step is commonly missed?

Place the U-bolt over the dead end of the rope, seat the saddle on the live end, and torque the nuts to 4.5 ft-lb; the step often missed is applying the full 4.5 ft-lb torque.

What maintenance or replacement will the 304 stainless steel clip need over time?

Inspect the clip regularly for wear, corrosion, or deformation; replace it if the U-bolt threads stretch, the saddle cracks, or the rope shows damage at the turnback.

What limit appears first when the clip is used continuously under load?

The 4.5 ft-lb installation torque is the primary limit; if vibration or sustained loading loosens the nuts below this value, the connection can slip.
