Copper Hourglass Sleeve

No.606006

The H-Lift Copper Hourglass Sleeve is a premium termination fitting specifically engineered for use with stainless steel wire ropes. Its distinct hourglass profile facilitates easy swaging and ensures a uniform compression grip, while the copper construction effectively eliminates the risk of galvanic corrosion, making it the superior choice for marine and architectural rigging over standard aluminum sleeves.

  • Manufactured from high-grade copper for superior durability in saltwater environments [page:1]
  • Available in zinc-plated or plain copper finishes [page:1]
  • Ideal for yachting, marine rigging, and architectural cable rails [page:1]

Technical Data

The Copper Hourglass (Duplex) Sleeve is specifically engineered for swaging Stainless Steel Wire Rope. Its unique figure-8 design keeps wire strands parallel during crimping, while the pure copper material prevents galvanic corrosion, ensuring a safe and durable termination in marine environments.

♾️ Figure-8 Design

The unique Hourglass shape separates the two wire strands. This ensures they remain parallel and do not twist inside the sleeve, resulting in a cleaner, stronger crimp.

🛡️ Stops Corrosion

Specifically designed to prevent Galvanic Corrosion. Essential when using stainless steel wire rope in saltwater or outdoor environments where aluminum would fail.

💪 High-Strength Hold

When properly swaged, these sleeves can withstand 90% to 95% of the wire rope's nominal breaking strength. Copper flows effectively into cable crevices for a solid bond.

📏 Imperial Sizing

Available in a comprehensive range of fractional sizes from 3/64" up to 1/2" to fit standard US wire rope diameters.

Q: Why should I use copper sleeves instead of aluminum? A: Aluminum sleeves should never be used on stainless steel wire rope because of galvanic corrosion. The aluminum acts as an anode and sacrifices itself, leading to rapid failure. Copper is chemically compatible with stainless steel.
Q: What is the advantage of the hourglass shape? A: The Hourglass (Duplex) shape prevents the two wire strands from crossing over or twisting inside the sleeve. This alignment ensures uniform compression and maximizes the holding strength of the termination.
⚠️ Safety Warning: Do NOT use Aluminium Sleeves with Stainless Steel Wire Rope. Galvanic corrosion will occur. Use these Copper Hourglass Sleeves instead.
ℹ️ Standard Option: For galvanized wire rope, use our Aluminium Hourglass Sleeves.
