316 Stainless Steel Thimble - Bulk - 12 mm
This 316-grade stainless-steel thimble provides a shaped support for a rope eye. Select it by the stated rope size and, where supplied, the additional dimensions for this exact variant.
Check that the rope and mating connector fit the thimble geometry. Packaged quantities vary by size, so compare the pack quantity when specified. The thimble’s rope-size designation is not a breaking-strain or working-load rating.
Choosing and using this product
Look at both sides of the proposed connection before choosing a rigging fitting. The opening, pin or thread must suit the adjoining components, while the body needs sufficient clearance to sit as intended. A larger nominal size is not automatically the best fit for a confined connection.
Plan access for assembly, adjustment and routine inspection. The connection should be arranged so adjoining parts do not prevent its intended movement or closure. Once assembled, inspect the fitting and surrounding hardware together, especially where there has been wear, deformation or a difficult loading event.
For workshop or refit orders, check the sales quantity as well as the size. A retail pack and a bulk listing may contain different numbers of the same style of fitting. Keep spare components labelled so pin sizes, thread forms and material grades remain easy to identify.
Use the stated material and dimensions to compare this version with the part being replaced. Thread direction, closure style and the shape of the attachment points can matter as much as overall length. Check those details against the actual assembly rather than a photograph alone.
Where stainless steel is specified, match the stated grade and the adjoining materials when planning the installation. The grade identifies the material selection; it does not by itself establish a load capacity or make every fastening arrangement suitable. Check the complete assembly and its intended application together.
