The Green Pin G-6412 Open Spelter Socket provides a permanent wire rope termination with an open (U-bolt) body secured by a cotter pin. The open design allows direct bolted connections to structures, equipment, and anchor points without needing a separate shackle.
Key Features
- Open body with cotter pin for direct bolted connections
- 100% wire rope efficiency when properly socketed
- Forged steel construction
- Hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance
- Individually proof tested with certificate
- Compatible with zinc or resin socketing
Common Applications
- Wire rope terminations requiring direct structural connection
- Crane and hoist wire rope assemblies
- Guy wire and cable stay terminations
- Offshore and marine installations
Why Green Pin?
Green Pin open spelter sockets eliminate the need for a separate shackle at the connection point, simplifying the rigging assembly while maintaining 100% rope efficiency. Individually proof tested by Van Beest.
