1/4 in Malleable Iron Wire Rope Clip

This Dayton wire rope clip is a galvanised U-bolt fitting made from malleable iron for 1/4 in diameter rope. It supplies a single clip for light rigging, winching or hoisting tasks where a simple mechanical splice is required. The component meets the minimum three-clip guideline for a secure termination. It carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Upgrade from fibre or plastic fasteners

Metal U-bolt clips replace rope thimbles, soft shackles or synthetic straps when a reusable, adjustable connection is needed. The jump is worth it when the load demands a galvanised iron grip that resists UV degradation and can be re-torqued to 12 ft-lb after initial seating. Plastic or fibre alternatives cannot match the clamping force or the 4 3/4 in turn-back length this clip enforces.

Single-clip capacity and headroom

One clip provides a portion of the three-clip minimum for a full eye splice on 1/4 in rope. It comfortably handles light tensioning, guy lines or temporary stays where the load stays well below the rope’s rated breaking strength. The installation runs out when the application requires the full complement of clips, higher torque values or a larger rope diameter than the 1/4 in specification.
