The Chicago Brand 221450 is a heavy-duty wire rope thimble designed for 1-inch rope diameter applications. This robust rigging component provides critical protection and support for wire rope eyes, preventing wear and deformation at connection points in demanding environments.

Key Features:

• Heavy-duty construction for superior strength and durability
• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance
• Designed to meet Federal Specification FF-T-276b Type III standards
• Closed pattern design for maximum rope retention
• Ideal for marine, industrial, rigging, and lifting applications

Wire rope thimbles are essential for creating strong, long-lasting loop terminations in wire rope assemblies. By fitting inside the rope loop, the thimble distributes loads evenly and protects against abrasion from shackles, hooks, and other hardware. The heavy-duty Type III construction offers thicker, more robust design compared to standard thimbles, making this the preferred choice for high-load and safety-critical situations.

Commonly used in rigging, towing, anchoring, lifting slings, and marine applications where strength and longevity are essential. Always select a thimble size that matches your wire rope diameter for proper fit and optimal performance.
