Wire Rope Thimble 3/16 in Steel

This Dayton wire rope thimble protects 3/16 in rope loops from wear and deformation. The zinc-plated steel construction resists corrosion in outdoor and marine environments. Each pack contains 25 pieces for rigging, lifting, or securing loads. It suits professionals and DIY users who need reliable loop reinforcement.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The thimble maintains the rope eye shape under continuous tension, preventing the strand from crushing against itself. Zinc plating withstands repeated exposure to moisture without flaking. The open-end design allows quick installation on existing assemblies. Steel walls distribute force evenly across the 1 5/16 in by 11/16 in internal loop dimensions.

Compatibility Check

Verify your rope diameter is exactly 3/16 in before ordering. Confirm the 1 15/16 in overall length and 1 1/16 in overall width fit your hardware clearances. Ensure the 1/8 in wall height and 1/16 in wall thickness meet your load requirements. This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Does the 3/16 in steel thimble heat up or make noise when used continuously under load?

The thimble is a passive steel fitting with no moving parts, so it generates no noise and does not heat up during continuous use.

What rope diameter must I already have for these 25 thimbles to fit correctly?

Each thimble is sized for 3/16 in wire rope, so you need rope of that exact diameter for a proper fit.

Will the zinc-plated finish on these thimbles react with older galvanised shackles I already own?

Zinc-plated steel is compatible with galvanised hardware; no adverse reaction occurs when they are used together.
