Wire Rope Clip for 1/2 in Diameter
This Dayton U-bolt clip secures wire rope with a maximum diameter of 1/2 inch. It is made from cast malleable iron with a silver finish and is rated for lifting applications. The clip suits galvanized steel rope with a wire strand core.
Minimum Installation Torque 25 ft-lb
The clip requires a minimum installation torque of 25 ft-lb to achieve a reliable connection. Applying less torque risks slippage under load. Use a calibrated torque wrench to meet this exact specification during assembly.
Sustained Load Retention
Under sustained load the malleable iron body resists permanent deformation when torqued to the specified value. The U-bolt design maintains clamping force on the rope without the relaxation seen in lighter-duty fasteners. Proper installation ensures the connection holds continuously.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/2 in rope diameter mean once the clip is on the wire?
The clip is sized for a maximum rope diameter of 1/2 in, so it will grip ropes up to that thickness when the U-bolt is torqued correctly.
What standard or interface governs the 25 ft-lb torque figure in practice?
The manufacturer specifies a minimum installation torque of 25 ft-lb; tightening the U-bolt nuts to at least this value secures the clip on the rope.
What does the 11 1/2 in turnback length require for mounting space?
You need at least 11 1/2 in of rope turned back past the clip to form the eye and allow proper seating of the U-bolt.
