Dayton

Dayton 2VKH1 Wire Rope U-Bolt Clip 3/16 in

SKU CH-ZEK2-M90GA

Secures 3/16 in stainless-steel wire rope with a cast 304 stainless U-bolt clip torqued to 7.5 ft-lb for lifting use

  • 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in marine environments
  • 3/16 in rope diameter fits standard wire rope sizes
  • 5 ft-lb minimum torque ensures secure fastening
  • Cast fabrication provides strength for lifting applications
  • U-bolt clip design simplifies wire rope termination

Dayton 3/16 in U-Bolt Clip

This Dayton wire-rope clip fits a maximum rope diameter of 3/16 in and is made from cast 304 stainless steel. It is designed for lifting applications with a wire strand core rope. The silver finish resists corrosion in harsh environments.

Installation torque and rope turnback

Before ordering, confirm that your rope diameter does not exceed 3/16 in and that the rope material is compatible stainless steel. Verify you can apply the minimum installation torque of 7.5 ft-lb during fitting. Ensure the required rope turnback length of 3 3/4 in is achievable on your assembly.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous load the 304 stainless steel body maintains its clamping force without the relaxation seen in short-term tests. The cast fabrication distributes stress evenly across the U-bolt and saddle. Load efficiency rating is not applicable, so the clip relies on proper torque retention over time.

Questions about this item

What does the box contain and do I need extra hardware to install the 3/16 in U-bolt clip?

The package includes the cast 304 stainless steel U-bolt clip sized for 3/16 in rope diameter; the saddle, U-bolt and two nuts are assembled, so no additional hardware is required for a standard wire-strand-core termination.

Should I choose a different clip if my rope is thicker than 3/16 in or if I need a higher load-efficiency rating?

This clip is rated only for ropes up to 3/16 in diameter and has no published load-efficiency figure; select a larger Dayton clip for thicker rope or an application that demands a certified efficiency value.

What does the 7.5 ft-lb minimum installation torque mean when I tighten the clip on a real wire rope?

Torque each nut to at least 7.5 ft-lb to achieve the recommended 3 3/4 in rope turnback and secure the stainless steel wire strand core without crushing the 304 stainless material.
