Dayton 2VKK4 Wire Rope Clip and Thimble Kit 1/2 in conveying

SKU CH-2K4Y-2RCRP

Kit provides two steel U-bolt clips and one galvanised thimble for 1/2 in wire rope

  • Secure loop protection with included galvanised steel thimble

  • Corrosion-resistant galvanised finish on all fittings
  • 11 1/2 in turnback length for proper assembly

Dayton 1/2 in Wire Rope Kit

The Dayton 2VKK4 kit supplies two steel U‑bolt clips and one galvanised steel thimble for 1/2 in galvanised wire rope. It is intended for rigging, lifting or pulling tasks where a secure loop termination is required.

Replaces worn or missing clips

Swap out damaged fittings when the rope turnback measures 11 1/2 in and the thimble loop inside dimensions are 2 3/4 in by 1 3/4 in. The upgrade is worth it when existing hardware shows corrosion, deformation or missing components.

Fits 1/2 in galvanised rope

The clips and thimble are sized for 1/2 in galvanised steel wire rope and install with standard hand tools. The kit frees the builder from sourcing separate clips and thimbles, delivering three matched fittings in one package.

Questions about this item

What rope diameter and turnback length does this 1/2 in kit require?

The kit fits 1/2 in galvanised steel rope and needs an 11 1/2 in turnback length for proper seating.

How do I install the two U-bolt clips and thimble, and what step is often missed?

Place the thimble in the rope eye, seat both U-bolt clips over the dead end with saddles on the live rope, then torque nuts evenly; the step often missed is re-torquing after the first load.

When should the galvanised steel thimble and clips be inspected or replaced?

Inspect before each use for wear, corrosion or deformation; replace any fitting showing cracks, elongation or 65 per cent loss of original cross-section.
