Stainless Steel Wire Rope Clips
3 products
Wire rope clips clamp the tail of a wire rope back onto its standing part to form an eye or termination, usually around a thimble. This category lists three stainless steel types: the SS9201 U-bolt style clip in AISI 316 in sizes from 2 to 19 mm, and the SS512 duplex (two-bolt) and SS511 simplex (single-bolt) clips in AISI 304 for rope from 2 to 10 mm. They are used on balustrade and fencing wire, guy wires, signs, displays and marine rigging. In Europe, EN 13411-5 sets requirements for U-bolt wire rope grips and does not cover their use as the primary termination on slings for general lifting, so buyers needing a certified termination should specify one. Power Honour can supply all three clips under a private label or to a drawing.

SS512SS512 304 Stainless Steel Duplex Wire Rope Clip
The SS512 is a duplex wire rope clip in AISI 304 stainless steel, listed for rope diameters of 2 mm to 10 mm. Its two-bolt body clamps two runs of wire side by side, for forming eyes, loops and joins in small-diameter wire rope work.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between U-bolt, duplex and simplex clips?
- A U-bolt clip uses a U-shaped bolt and a saddle and is the common type for general wire rope work. A duplex clip holds both rope runs side by side in a body closed by two bolts, while a simplex clip uses a single bolt and suits lighter, non-critical loops. The choice depends on rope size, load and how tidy the finished termination needs to be.
- Which way round does a U-bolt clip go?
- The saddle goes on the live, load-bearing part of the rope and the U-bolt on the dead (tail) end; fitting it the other way round crushes the live rope. Riggers remember this as never saddle a dead horse. Clips should be spaced and tightened as the clip maker or relevant standard recommends, and retightened after first loading.
- How many clips should I use?
- The number depends on the rope diameter and clip type and is given in the clip maker's instructions or in guidance such as the fitting annexes of EN 13411-5. Using fewer clips than recommended, or clips of the wrong size, reduces the strength of the termination. Where in doubt, a swaged or spliced termination is the safer route.
- Can wire rope clips be used on lifting slings?
- Clip terminations are generally not used as the main termination on slings for general lifting, and EN 13411-5 does not cover that use. The clips in this range carry no published efficiency or load rating. For lifting, use a rated, certified termination such as a ferrule-secured or spliced eye.
- Should I use 304 or 316 clips?
- Grade 304 suits most outdoor and sheltered locations, while 316 gives better resistance to chloride pitting near the sea. Matching the clip grade to the wire rope grade also avoids mixing different alloys in one termination. In this range the U-bolt SS9201 is 316 and the duplex and simplex clips are 304.
How these are made
G80 Lifting Components: ASTM A952, ASME B30 and What Importers Check
G80 lifting components, the forged hooks, master links and coupling links in Grade 80 chain slings, are specified under ASTM A952 and used within ASME B30.9. Here is what the grade means and what to verify before stocking them.

1 kN is about 102 kgf or 225 lbf, so a 22.2 kN connector is rated to about 5,000 lbf. What kN, minimum breaking strength and WLL mean on safety hardware.
