Sea-Dog Line 159508-1 Stainless Steel Wire Rope Clip 8mm

The Sea-Dog Line 159508-1 is a heavy-duty stainless steel wire rope clip designed for 8mm wire rope applications. Wire rope clips provide a reliable alternative to splicing when creating loops or eyes in wire rope ends, especially when used in conjunction with thimbles for added strength and wear resistance.

Key Features:

• Constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel for marine and outdoor durability
• Fits 8mm (approximately 5/16") wire rope diameter
• U-bolt and saddle design secured with two hex nuts for reliable clamping force
• Recommended for use on uncoated wire rope
• Ideal for marine rigging, dock lines, cable railings, and general lifting applications

Installation Notes:

When installing wire rope clips, always place the saddle on the live (load-bearing) end of the rope and the U-bolt on the dead (tail) end. Use a minimum of three clips for proper termination, spacing them approximately six wire rope diameters apart. Tighten nuts evenly to manufacturer specifications and re-check tension after initial load application.

Sea-Dog Line marine hardware is engineered to withstand harsh saltwater environments, making this clip an excellent choice for boating, marine construction, and coastal applications where corrosion resistance is critical.
