• Hot-dip galvanized coating.
• Minimum recommended torque: Nm
• Maximum recommended torque: Nm
• Recommended for 3/8' retainer
• Recommended use per mooring: 3 pieces
• Ideal for heavy loads
• Recommended for suspension or fixing of guyed towers, masts, poles and similar.

Safety Notes:

Use the same size staple for the same size wire rope.

Never use malleable iron staples in critical, heavy-duty applications, or for suspended loads, such as slings, suspension lines, guide lines, drag lines, load securing, scaffolding, etc.

Malleable iron staples are for making terminations only in:

• Only with straight regular twisted cable.
• For light-duty, non-critical applications only, such as light loads, handrails, fencing, area protection, etc.
• Apply an initial load to check the assembly. This load should be equal to or greater than the weight it will support. Then check and retighten the nuts to the recommended torque.

Method for installing the Dogs:

1. Run the required length of cable around the thimble, and install the first dog a distance equal to the width of its base from the end of the cable. Tighten the nuts alternately to the specified torque.

2. When only two dogs are needed, install the second dog as close as possible to the cable or thimble bend, and tighten the nuts alternately to the specified torque. When more than two dogs are required, install the second dog as close as possible to the cable or thimble bend and tighten the nuts firmly without overtightening.

3. Install all necessary dogs between the first two, with equal spacing and in the same position. Make sure the nuts on all dogs are tightened to the specified torque.

4. Finally, apply a load equal to or greater than the one you expect to use to test the assembly. Then, check and, if necessary, retighten the nuts to the recommended torque using a torque wrench.
