316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope Grip - 8mm - 5/16"
Use a 316 stainless steel wire rope grip selected to match the diameter of the wire in the assembly. It provides a stainless fitting option when preparing or replacing wire-rope connecting hardware.
The selected grip suits 8mm - 5/16" wire. Match this specification to the wire in the assembly using the actual wire diameter as the reference.
A size-specific component for the wire termination
Wire-rope grips should be selected with the entire termination in mind. Along with the grip itself, consider the wire, any eye insert and the connector that will attach to the finished end. Matching those parts at the planning stage is easier than trying to correct a poor fit after the wire has been cut.
Use the actual wire diameter as the ordering reference and keep different grip sizes clearly separated during assembly. Follow the applicable fitting instructions for the required number, arrangement and tightening method. Once the termination has been completed, leave it accessible for checking. Regular inspection should include the grip, the wire where it contacts the fitting and the adjoining connection.
Selection details
Check the wire diameter rather than selecting by appearance alone. The quoted size is the compatible wire size, not the overall size of the grip. The termination method, number of fittings and installation requirements need to suit the application.
When matching existing equipment, keep the exact product code with the dimensions you have checked. Similar-looking fittings can differ in their opening, material section or connection style. Comparing the full specification before ordering makes it easier to select a replacement that fits the arrangement you already have and remains straightforward to maintain.
