Wurtec's aluminum rope clamps are designed to hold two ropes together or create a lift point on a rope. These rope clamps feature grip-enhancing internal grooves to increase capacity. Bolts are torqued to 96 ft-lbs. In certain applications, reaching the required torque might be difficult. The use of Wurtec's spanner wrench (#60-10040479) is highly recommended to help attain leverage.
