MPN: 784641

Barcode: 5024763142611

These zinc-plated clamp clips are designed to create secure terminations for 8mm steel wire rope.

Who This Product Is For

This product is suited for professional installers, fencing contractors, and rigging specialists who work with steel wire rope systems. It is also appropriate for experienced DIY users undertaking projects involving cable tensioning or structural support with wire rope.

The clamps are intended for jobs that require creating secure terminations in 8mm steel wire rope, such as fencing installations, cable rigging, tensioning systems, and other applications where wire rope needs to be fastened or looped.

Key Features

• Zinc-plated coating provides protection against rust and weather exposure.
• Designed to withstand outdoor conditions and varying climates.
• Creates a secure grip on 8mm steel wire rope for tensioned applications.
• Constructed for demanding uses like rigging and fencing.

Practical Applications

The Fixman Wire Rope Securing Clamp Clips M8 are used for securing fencing, reinforcing tensioned cables, and supporting rigging operations. Their construction provides results across outdoor and industrial settings.

Use a D shackle to join rope loops to anchors or fittings for a secure connection.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

These clamp clips are typically used during the cable termination phase of a wire rope installation. After cutting the wire rope to the required length and, if creating an eye, fitting a protective thimble, the clamp is positioned and tightened to form a secure termination point before the cable is placed under tension.

In a fencing or rigging project, the clamps are applied after the wire rope has been routed through anchor points or around posts, serving as the final securing component before the system is tensioned and put into service.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Cable Preparation: Cut your wire rope to the required length, ensuring clean ends for optimal grip.
2. Positioning the Clamp: Place the clamp over the wire rope, ensuring the U-bolt fits snugly around the cable. When forming an eye, fit a wire rope loop eye thimble to protect the cable before clamping.
3. Tightening: Secure the nuts evenly on either side of the clamp, alternating sides to maintain balance.
4. Final Check: Test the connection to confirm the clamp is firmly in place before applying tension.
5. Maintenance: Inspect periodically to ensure the clamp remains tight and free from corrosion.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a dry, covered area to prevent exposure to moisture when not in use.
• Periodically check the nut tightness, especially after prolonged use or heavy loads.
• Clean regularly to remove dirt and debris, helping to maintain optimal performance.
