Blue Wave Thimbles Stainless Steel – Heart Thimbles for Ropes and Wire Ropes

Where rope or wire rope is deflected, spliced, or connected with a crimping sleeve, a thimble protects the strand from sharp edges and crushing forces. These stainless steel heart thimbles withstand the continuous stress of saltwater, UV, and wind – on deck, in the rigging, and on the shrouds.

Tip: The thimble should be inserted into the finished rope eye without play, but also without tension – if it sits too loosely, it will turn under load and chafe the rope.
