How many clips are recommended for 1/8" wire rope clip installations?

Using two clips for 1/8" wire rope installations is the standard recommendation because it provides the necessary security and reliability for creating a strong connection. The two clips work together to ensure that the wire rope is properly secured and that the load is evenly distributed across the connection.

When one clip is used, it does not provide enough support or stability, risking slippage under load or during movement. If three or four clips were used, that would be excessive and could lead to complications in installation without significantly improving the safety of the connection. Therefore, two clips strike the right balance between security and practicality for 1/8" wire rope applications.
