INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Proper Installation
When installing the jaw swage turnbuckle, ensure that it’s securely connected to both ends of the wire rope. Use the correct tools to tighten the turnbuckle and avoid over-tightening, which could cause damage to the threads or reduce the turnbuckle’s lifespan. Always check that the turnbuckle is aligned properly to prevent unnecessary strain on the components.
Regular Inspection
Regularly inspect your jaw swage turnbuckle for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, especially in marine or outdoor applications. Look for any loose pins, cracks, or rust buildup. If you find any issues, replace the turnbuckle immediately to prevent failure in critical applications. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and safety.
Avoid Overloading
Never exceed the rated load capacity of the jaw swage turnbuckle. Overloading can weaken the materials and lead to premature failure. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding load limits, and if you’re unsure, consult with an expert to ensure you’re using the correct size and type for your application.
Secure Clevis Pin
The clevis pin should always be properly secured with a captive split ring to prevent accidental dislodging. If the pin is not secured, it could lead to the turnbuckle detaching during use, posing a serious safety risk. Before each use, verify that the pin is correctly in place and locked.

Use a Wrench to Tighten:
Rotate the turnbuckle with a wrench in a clockwise direction to pull the cable taut. -
Avoid Over-tightening:
Be careful not to over-tighten the turnbuckle, as this can lead to unnecessary strain on both the cable and the hardware. -
Check for Proper Tension:
After tightening, always inspect the cable for proper tension to ensure it’s secure but not over-stretched.
How do I know if my jaw swage turnbuckle is the right size?
To determine the correct size for your jaw swage turnbuckle, match the turnbuckle’s dimensions with the cable or wire rope’s diameter. The turnbuckle should fit snugly with no excess movement when attached to the cable. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the turnbuckle’s load capacity aligns with the strength of your cable and the requirements of your project.
How do I tighten a turnbuckle?
