Description
Overview
The Thimble Galvanised 14 mm (Part No. RWB0319E) is a heavy duty hot dipped galvanised steel thimble. It is designed to protect the eye of a 14 mm wire rope by distributing the load evenly around the bend. This reduces wear, maintains the rope’s strength, and therefore extends service life in marine and general rigging applications.
Features
- Hot dipped galvanised coating resists rust and supports marine use
- Formed steel profile supports the correct rope curvature and prevents kinking
- Sized to suit 14 mm rope for a snug and secure seating in the groove
- Compact and economical design that still offers strong protection for rope eyes

Compatibility and Fitment
This thimble matches 14 mm wire rope. To install it, form a loop in the rope and secure with rated clips, ferrules, or swages. Always confirm that the groove fully supports the rope diameter. As a result, the rope eye maintains shape under load without flattening or abrasion.
Compliance and Safety
Inspect the thimble and rope regularly. Replace any component showing cracks, deep wear, or significant rust. Do not use this fitting to lift people. By following safe rigging practice, you can maintain both compliance and safety for marine operations.
Marine Applications
Because of its galvanised coating, this thimble is commonly used in boat mooring bridles, winch cable eyes, rigging connections, and trailer tie-downs. In addition, it is suitable for coastal construction and industrial rope assemblies where corrosion resistance matters.
