Use in noncritical applications, such as fencing, where the strength of a forged clamp is not required. Install clamps so the saddle is on the long (live) end and the U-bolt is on the short (dead) end. They’re also known as wire rope clips.
Zinc-plated iron clamps are mildly corrosion resistant.
Galvanized iron clamps have a thicker coating than zinc-plated clamps for added corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel clamps are more corrosion resistant than galvanized clamps.
316 stainless steel clamps are the most corrosion resistant fittings we offer. They provide excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
