Medium Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting
Also known as standard-pattern thimbles, these provide better protection against fraying than light-duty thimbles.
18-8 stainless steel thimbles are more corrosion resistant to chemicals than steel thimbles.
316 stainless steel thimbles are the most corrosion resistant thimbles we offer. They provide excellent resistance to salt water and chemicals.
Warning: Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Wire Rope Compression Sleeves—For Lifting
Install with a compression tool to create a strong, permanent loop. Compression sleeves are also known as ferrules, crimps, swaging, and splicing sleeves. They're compatible with Nicopress compression tools.
18-8 stainless steel sleeves have excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals.
Warning: Fittings must match rope diameter and be installed correctly to obtain maximum holding power. Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
