(b) When eyes are formed using wire rope clips, the clips will be spaced six diameters of
the rope apart. The clips U-bolts will be installed on the dead end of the rope with the base against
the live end; see Figure C-6. Nuts on U-bolts should be checked after initial use and re-tightened, if
necessary, to the torque specifications in Table C-1. The number of clips and the proper torque
necessary to assemble wire rope eye-loop connections with a nominal efficiency of 80 percent is as
follows:
