    ## Galvanised Rope Thimble - 8mm

Form a rope eye around a hot-dipped galvanised thimble sized for the rope. The shaped insert provides a defined eye profile within the rope termination and helps keep the connection geometry consistent.

This thimble suits 8mm rope. Use that diameter specification when choosing the insert for a new rope eye or replacing the thimble in an existing termination.

### Give the rope eye a defined shape

A thimble sits within a rope eye and provides a shaped insert around which the termination can be formed. It is a small component, but selecting the appropriate size helps the rope and adjoining connector sit together as intended. The rope-size specification describes the intended fit in the groove, rather than the outside length of the insert.

Plan the finished eye with the connecting hardware alongside it. Check that the rope seats in the groove and that there is suitable room for the connector within the eye. Complete the termination using the method appropriate to the rope and application. During maintenance, inspect the rope at the contact area and check that the thimble remains correctly positioned within the eye.

### Selection details

The quoted size is the rope diameter the thimble suits. Check the fit with both the rope and the adjoining connector before completing the eye. Choosing a thimble involves the termination and connector together, not just the nominal rope size.

When renewing an existing rope eye, compare the old insert with the rope it was fitted to and the connector it receives. Distortion, wear or a changed rope size can mean that copying the old outside shape is insufficient. Checking the groove fit and finished eye together makes the replacement process more straightforward.
