Metallics MWRC516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wire rope does the Metallics MWRC516 clip fit?
The MWRC516 is a 5/16 inch wire rope clip, so it is sized for 5/16 inch diameter cable. Using a clip on a cable it is not sized for is the usual cause of slip at the saddle, so match the clip size to the rope diameter rather than to the nearest one in the van.
2) Is the Metallics 5/16 wire rope clip galvanized for damp or outdoor use?
Yes, the MWRC516 is a galvanized clip, which is the finish normally specified for exterior and damp-location cable runs where a plain steel clip would rust. For fully corrosive or wash-down environments, stainless hardware is the usual step up.
3) How many wire rope clips do I need per termination on 5/16 cable?
Clips like the 5/16 MWRC516 are used in multiples, never one on its own, with the saddle on the live (load-carrying) side of the rope and the U-bolt on the dead end. Standard practice for 5/16 inch rope is two clips minimum per termination, spaced about six rope diameters apart. Order the quantity for every termination in the run, not one per anchor point.
4) Can I use a wire rope clip instead of a swaged sleeve for hanging electrical supports?
A clip such as the MWRC516 makes a field-adjustable 5/16 inch cable termination, which is why it gets used for trapeze and cable-hung support where the length has to be set on site. A swaged sleeve or a gripper is cleaner and lower profile but has to be made up to length, so it is the better choice when the dimension is fixed off the drawing. If the run needs re-tensioning later, the clip wins.
