Forged: Crosby “Red” U-Bolt Clips have forged bases on all sizes, except 3-1/2" (the 3-1/2" base is a steel casting). The entire clip is galvanized to resist corrosive and rusting action. Clip sizes 1/8" through 1-1/2" have U-Bolts with rolled threads which enhance the strength of the material and fatigue properties.
 

Forged: Fist Grip Clips are forged, and the entire clip is galvanized. The double saddle design eliminates the possibility of incorrect installation. Designed as an integral part of the clip, the bolts are opposite one another (see G-429 example below). As result, the nuts can be installed in such a way as to enable the operator to swing the wrench in a full arc for ease of installation.
 

Application Information: Application and warning information is available for both Crosby “Red” U-Bolt Clips and Fist Grip Clips. The Crosby Warning System is designed to attract the attention of the user, clearly inform the user of the factors involved in the task, and provide the user with proper application procedures.
Each Crosby “Red” U-Bolt Clip and Fist Grip Clip is either bagged or tagged with appropriate application and warning information, thus ensuring that the information is available at the point of application for each and every clip during installation.
 

Material Analysis: Crosby can provide certified material (mill) analysis for each production lot, traceable by the Product Identification Code (PIC). Crosby, through its own laboratory, verifies the analysis of each heat of steel.
 

Testing: Crosby periodically audits the termination efficiencies of the “Red” U-Bolt Clips and Fist Grip Clips. Upon special request, Crosby will determine the efficiencies of clip assemblies when applied to special rope constructions and special applications.
