Stainless Steel Wire Rope Thimble - Regular duty. Type 316 s.s. for 1/8 in. wire rope.The 1/8" stainless steel light duty wire rope thimble is specifically designed for reinforcing loops in 1/8" diameter wire ropes. It is ideal for lightweight applications such as cable railings, suspending small signs, or creating loops in utility ropes for residential or architectural projects. Its compact size provides basic protection against wear and fraying in low-stress environments.Stainless Steel Light Duty Wire Rope Thimbles are designed to provide basic reinforcement and protection for wire rope loops in low-load applications. Light-duty thimbles are more compact and are used in situations where the rope is not subjected to extreme tension or heavy stress. Their purpose is to prevent wire rope loops from fraying, deforming, or wearing at the contact point, while maintaining the shape and integrity of the loop. Stainless Steel Light Duty Wire Rope Thimbles are corrosion resistant, easy to install, and can be cost effective for light loads.Type 316 Stainless Steel is a high-performance alloy known for its superior resistance to corrosion, especially in environments exposed to saltwater, chemicals, and extreme weather. Its molybdenum content enhances durability against pitting and crevice corrosion, making it a reliable choice for marine, industrial, and architectural applications. Type 316 Stainless Steel is commonly used for components like turnbuckles in marine mooring systems and stainless steel shackles in industrial lifting setups. Its ability to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining structural integrity makes it an ideal material for demanding rigging environments where safety and longevity are critical.Shop our inventory of Wire Rope Thimbles and complete your project faster with our steel cable and wire rope, wire rope clips, shackles and swage fittings.
