Description A Crosby Wire Rope Clip consists of a U-shaped bolt which fixes the wire rope cable against the saddle when the two nuts are tightened. The saddle should always be against the live portion of the wire rope and not the dead or termination end of the wire rope – this leads to the expression “Never Saddle a Dead Horse”. Two or more Wire Rope Clips are often required for each eye or loop. Product Features Include: Each base has a Product Identification Code (PIC) for material traceability, the name CROSBY or CG, and a size forged into it. Based on the catalog breaking strength of wire rope, Crosby wire rope clips have an efficiency rating of 80% for 1/8” – 7/8” sizes, and 90% for sizes 1” through 3-1/2”. Entire Wire Rope Clip is Galvanized to resist corrosive and rusting action. Sizes 1/8” through 2-1/2” and 3” have forged bases. All Clips are individually bagged or tagged with proper application instructions and warning information. Wire Rope Clip sizes up through 1-1/2” have rolled threads.

Product Specifications The number of clips shown (see Table 1) is based upon using RRL or RLL wire rope, 6 x 19 or 6 x 36 Class, FC or IWRC; IPS or XIP, XXIP. If Seale construction or similar large outer wire type construction in the 6 x 19 Class is to be used for sizes 1 inch and larger, add one additional clip. If a pulley (sheave) is used for turning back the wire rope, add one additional clip. The number of clips shown also applies to rotation-resistant RRL wire rope, 8 x 19 Class, IPS, XIP, XXIP sizes 1-1/2 inch and smaller; and to rotation-resistant RRL wire rope, 19 x 7 Class, IPS, XIP, XXIP sizes 1-3/4 inch and smaller. For other classes of wire rope not mentioned above, we recommend contacting Crosby Engineering to ensure the desired efficiency rating. For elevator, personnel hoist, and scaffold applications, refer to ANSI A17.1 and ANSI A10.4. These standards do not recommend U-Bolt style wire rope clip terminations. The style wire rope termination used for any application is the obligation of the user. For OSHA (Construction) applications, see OSHA 1926.251 Table 1
