Wire Rope Clips
Fist Grip G-429 US Type Drop Forged Wire Rope Termination
A drop-forged carbon steel wire rope clip with an integrated bolt and heavy hex nut, hot dip galvanized for corrosion resistance. Designed for secure termination of wire rope eyes and loops, it meets or exceeds ASME B30.26 requirements. The saddle design allows full wrench swing during installation, and the galvanized finish resists rust in harsh environments. Sizes range from 3/16"-1/4" to 1 1/8" with standard heavy hex nuts and stamped working load limits.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Standard wire rope clip with separate bolt | The integrated bolt allows full wrench swing and faster installation, but may be harder to replace if damaged |
| Screw pin clip | The bolt and nut system is more secure under vibration and does not back off, unlike a screw pin that requires frequent inspection |
| Welded eye termination | The clip allows for field re-termination and inspection, while a welded eye is permanent and cannot be adjusted |
| Non-galvanized clip | The hot dip galvanized finish resists rust in marine and outdoor environments, extending service life in corrosive conditions |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect G429 Fist Grip Clip
- Select the correct size based on wire rope diameter using manufacturer guidelines
- Install a minimum of three clips per eye or loop, spaced according to recommended distance
- Position the saddle on the live end of the wire rope, not the dead end
- Tighten nuts evenly and fully to ensure consistent clamping force
- Check the clip for tightness and proper alignment after initial load application
- Inspect the galvanizing for damage and the working load limit marking for legibility before each use
- Retire the clip if the saddle shows deformation, the galvanizing is severely damaged, or the marking is unreadable
