National N176-800 Zinc Rope Thimble

The National N176-800 is a 3/16 inch zinc rope thimble designed to protect wire rope eyes from wear and deformation. It suits home, farm, builder and industrial users who need a reliable fitting for light-duty latching or fastening tasks.

Corrosion-resistant zinc finish

The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor environments, helping the thimble withstand moisture and weather exposure. No moving parts or power are involved, so the component adds no noise, heat or electrical draw to the assembly.

Simple eye protection for wire rope

The thimble sits inside the rope loop to maintain the eye shape and reduce abrasion at the bend point. Its 3/16 inch sizing matches compatible wire rope diameters, and the single-piece zinc construction allows straightforward installation with standard wire rope clips or clamps.

Questions about this item

How do I install the N176-800 thimble on 3/16" wire rope, and what step is often missed?

Form an eye in the rope, insert the thimble, then secure with correctly sized wire rope clips; the missed step is torquing clips to spec and re-checking after the first load.

What maintenance or replacement will the zinc-plated N176-800 need over time?

Inspect the zinc finish regularly for white rust or red rust; replace the thimble if the groove shows wear, deformation, or if the plating is compromised.

What limit appears first on the N176-800 during sustained outdoor use?

The zinc coating is the first limit; it sacrifices itself to protect the base steel, so corrosion resistance fades once the plating is consumed.
