Swage Sockets are recommended for use on 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 IPS or XIP (EIP), XXIP (EEIP), RRL, FC, or IWRC
wire ropes. They are also approved for use on galvanized bridge rope. Before using swage socket assemblies,
it is recommended that the termination be proof loaded to prove the adequacy of the assembly. Always swage
under supervision of a specialist from a certified sling shop.

Step 1. Mark rope to indicate proper amount to insert into socket.

Step 2. Insert rope into socket.

Step 3. Swage the socket.

INFO For more instructions on swaging we refer to the swaging instruction (PI-03-14 in the FAQ section) on
our website.

Sockets must be regularly inspected in accordance with the safety standards given in the country of use. This
is required because the products in use may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading etc. which may lead to
deformation and alteration of the material structure. Inspection should take place at least every six months
and more frequently when the sockets are used in severe operating conditions.
