OVERVIEW

Secure Your Rigging with the 5/16" Closed Grip

In the welding and fabrication shop, managing cables and securing loads is a daily task. The 5/16" Closed Grip Wire Rope Clip is the reliable hardware you need to create secure eyes and loops in your steel cables and wire ropes. Whether you are setting up temporary safety lines, securing equipment for transport, or repairing a winch line on your service truck, this heavy-duty grip ensures your connections hold fast under tension.

Built for the Shop Environment
Fabricated from tough steel and zinc-plated to fight off rust and grime, this cable grip is built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial workspaces. The zinc coating provides a protective barrier against moisture, ensuring that the threads remain clean and the nuts turn freely even after exposure to the elements. This durability means you can rely on these clips for long-term installations or keep them in your toolbox for emergency repairs without worrying about corrosion seizing the hardware.

Easy Installation and Versatility
Creating a secure loop is straightforward with the 5/16" Closed Grip. Simply turn back the wire rope to form your desired eye size, position the clips with the saddle on the live end of the rope, and tighten the nuts evenly. This U-bolt style clamp is the industry standard for a reason—it's effective, easy to inspect, and requires only a standard wrench to install. It is an indispensable accessory for any welder or maintenance professional who deals with material handling, structural erection, or general facility maintenance.

Safety and Reliability
When lifting or securing heavy loads, there is no room for error. Using the correct size hardware is critical for safety. This grip is specifically designed for 5/16-inch cable, ensuring a tight, non-slip fit that won't crush the cable core when torqued to specification. Keep a supply of these grips on hand to ensure you always have the right hardware to get the job done safely and professionally.

FAQ

Always follow the rule 'Never saddle a dead horse.' The saddle (the bridge part) must be placed on the live (load-bearing) end of the rope, while the U-bolt goes over the dead (short) end.

For standard rigging applications, it is generally recommended to use a minimum of two to three clips to ensure full holding power, though specific safety codes may require more depending on the load.

No, wire rope clips are size-specific. Using a 5/16" clip on smaller or larger cable can lead to slippage or cable damage. Always match the clip size to the wire rope diameter.

Standard malleable wire rope clips are typically not recommended for permanent overhead lifting. For critical overhead lifting applications, forged clips or swaged sleeves are often required by safety standards.

You will need a standard wrench or socket set that fits the nuts on the U-bolt. A torque wrench is recommended to ensure the nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Yes, U-bolt style wire rope clips can generally be reused if they are not damaged, but the wire rope itself may be deformed and should be inspected before re-termination.

This grip is made of steel with a zinc plating to provide corrosion resistance.
