U-Bolt Clips are popular for field installations but require a torque wrench and for larger sizes a vice to hold the clip in; otherwise you are not able to torque the nuts to the recommended values. Most importantly, clips have to be re-torqued after a test load. Installation must be done by a TRAINED and COMPETENT person.

For detailed installation instructions consult Unirope or your local Unirope Distributor.

Wire rope strength will decrease to 80% of catalogue breaking strength up to 1" rope diameter, and to 90% above 1" rope diameter, even when U-Bolt clips are properly installed.

For elevator, personnel hoist, and scaffold applications refer to ANSI A17.1 and ANSI A10.4. These standards do not recommend U-Bolt clip wire rope terminations.
