3/16 Inch Zinc Plated Wire Rope Clamp 12 Pack - Heavy Duty Cable Clips for Marine, Construction & DIY Projects - Secure Railing, Fencing, and Outdoor Structures

Product Description

Wire cable clamps are used to clamp a cable back on itself creating a loop. A suggested minimum of 3 clamps or clips are clamped on ensuring the end of the cable does not slip out.The clamp consists of a U-bolt, a saddle and 2 nuts.Some examples of applications in which these are used are: securing patio or porch furniture, safetying pipe, anchoring posts, squaring fence gates, making laundry lines, hanging banners, anchoring gym equipment, and endless other applications.TIP: Use an 11mm socket/nut driver to tighten the nuts. A drill may be used but make sure not to over tighten as the wire may warp. Be sure to turn back a minimum of 3 & 3/4 inches length of wireDo not use with plastic coated wire rope.You should never use malleable clamps in critical applications because they can bend, stretch or have other manufacturing defects. Only drop forged clamps should be used for critical applications, such as guying, tie down or suspensionTIP: “NEVER SADDLE A DEAD HORSE”– NEVER PLACE U-BOLT OVER THE LIVE LINE Never apply a clamp with the saddle on the dead side of the cable. Only the U-bolt should be on the dead side of the cable, where crushing will not affect the breaking strength of the hoist line.
