301 Light Duty Wire Stop 3/16"

301 Light Duty Wire Stop Cable Termination Strand Size: 3/16"The internal taper of Rigguy's wire stop fits over the middle strand of 7-strand EHS cable with the six remaining strands surrounding it. The more pressure that is applied, the deeper into the block the strand and taper are pulled. The block and taper are both made of 304 stainless steel for strength of application and corrosion resistance.  Although the standard wire stop is only 1-1/4 inches long, it holds close to 100 percent of the breaking strength of the strand itself, which is more than 15,000 pounds (if using 3/8-inch EHS strand.) The wire stop eliminates the need for the "J," "lag," "eye," hooks, thimbles, "through bolts," "pre-formed wraps," "wire clips," or other terminal hardware. It can be used in more applications because it is secured on the outside of the limb or trunk. It makes a more finished, less cluttered, installation because of its small size and simplicity. The 301 light duty wire stop was designed for use on smaller ornamental trees. The 301 measures only 11/16" wide by 1/2" long.Additional Video: Comparison of the Wire Stop to Traditional Cable componets
