Description
3.2mm/4.0mm 7×19 Black Coated HS14 Tool, Wire, Swages, Thimbles – Wire Use Kit groups tools and fittings required for PVC Coated 3.2mm/4.0mm Stainless Steel Wire. This kit provides the basics components – to work with the wire leaving the coating on. Basically you need:
- Wire (of some length) which sort of depends on the project.
- Ferrules (also called crimps or swages). These fasten either the wire to itself (and form a loop – 1 required per loop) or complete a splicing operation (at least 2 required per lap-splice),
- Thimbles (also called eyelets) as these are the reinforcing strip of stainless steel metal that goes inside of a terminal loop (called a Hard-Eye with a thimble and a Soft-Eye without a thimble,
- Swager (or swaging or crimping or welding tool) These are available in either a hydraulic form or a mechanical form
- Heatshrink to for a neat and waterproof connection, and a
- Cutter which simply cuts the wire,
Usage: Using the 3.2mm/4.0mm 7×19 Black Coated HS14 Tool, Wire, Swages, Thimbles – Wire Use Kit is easy. Simply cut the wire to length – each ‘eye’ takes about 90mm of wire. When leaving the coating on, use 4.0mm ferrules and thimbles. Just slip one end into a ferrule, make a loop and slip the end back into the ferrule – without a thimble this is a soft eye. We recommend using a thimble inside the loop to form a hard eye as the thimble distributes the load on the loop. Additionally, the thimble limits the radius through which the wire is pulled – thereby maintaining the MBS and load characteristics of the wire.
