CAUTION
CB Buttons are recommended for use on 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 IPS or XIP, EIP, RRL, or IWRC wire ropes. Not all CB Buttons are designed to hold the breaking strength of the wire rope. Before using a CB Button for any type lay, construction or grade of wire rope, it is recommended that the termination be proofloaded to prove adequacy of the assembly. Item numbers are designed to indicate the wire rope size for the particular fitting. For instance, a CB-8 is for 8/32", or 1/4", wire rope.Proper swaging practices are the sling manufacturer’s responsibility.
