- Forged Steel
- Spelter socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 100%, based on the catalog strength of wire rope
- Ratings are based on the recommended use with 6 x 7, 6 x 19 or 6 x 37, IPS or XIP (EIP) , XXIP (EEIP), RRL, FC or IWRC wire rope.
- Strand constructed with minimal number of wires (e.g. 1 x 7) requires special consideration that socket basket length be five (5) times the strand diameter or fifty (50) times the wire diameter, whichever is the greater
- Open Grooved Sockets meet the performance requirements of Federal Specification RR-S-550E, Type A, except for those provisions required of the contractor

CAUTION: Open Rope Spelter sockets are recommended for use on 6×7, 6×19, and 6×37, IPS, XIP (EIP), XXIP (EEIP), RRL, FCI WRC regular lay ropes. They are also approved for use on bridge ropes and structural strand. Before using open rope spelter sockets with other type, lay, construction, or grade of wire rope, it is recommended that a test assembly be destructively tested to prove the adequacy of the assembly.
