🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope clip usage for temporary eyes or repairs • Standard industry recommendations for the minimum number of clips on towing or heavily loaded wires • Differences between permanent splices and temporary repairs using clips

💭 Think About

• Think about the consequences of clip failure on a tow wire. Would common practice favor the bare minimum number of clips or some added safety margin? • Consider general rigging rules: how many clips are typically used on a working tow wire versus a light, non-critical application? • Ask yourself whether the exam is testing a prohibition on wire clips, or the correct safe practice when they must be used temporarily.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that wire clips are used in practice for temporary towing repairs under some circumstances, rather than being absolutely prohibited. • Recall that safe rigging practice generally requires more than two clips on load-bearing wire ropes. • Visualize a temporary eye in a tow wire: would three clips usually be considered the upper end, or would more than three be standard for a heavily loaded tow?
