For use in forming Down Guy Dead-ends with 1/2" Bare Strand and Cable Clamps or with 7/16" Preformed Dead-ends. 5/8THH can also be used when 9/16THH is not available. Thimbles prevent the crimping of Guy Wire and Preformed Dead-end Guy Grip Terminations passed through Eyes, Anchors and Bolts. Thimbles are sized by 1/16 inch larger than the Guy Wire Strand when terminated with Cable Clamps, or 2/16 inch larger than the Guy Wire Strand when terminated with Guy Grip Preformed Dead-ends.
Open Eye Thimbles are rigging hardware used with Stranded Wire Rope Preformed Dead-ends or Synthetic Lines to form strong, protective loops (eyes) for Stranded Wire Rope Termination to Shackles, Turnbuckles, Tower and Mast Pole Down Guy Brackets, Down Guy Earth/Concrete Anchors or other fittings, thus preventing the Stranded Wire/Rope from Kinking, Fraying, and Wearing out by creating a Smooth, Hard Barrier, especially useful for polyester ropes or when splicing, ensuring the line maintains its strength and shape under load. They are installed by bending the rope around the thimble and securing the end, with the open design allowing for easier insertion and use with Shackles, Turnbuckles, Closed Eye Anchors and various other appurtenances of Connection and Termination. Our Open Eye Thimbles are Hot Dip Galvanized for Superior Corrosion Protection.
