TERMINATIONS
ROPE CARE There are a few things that you want to keep in mind when handling your rope.
1) Use edge protection when it’s necessary to run the rope over rough surfaces or sharp edges. Also don’t run moving ropes over sta- tionary ropes (a moving rope can cut right through a stationary rope).
2) Avoid overloading your rope, so know your rope strength and be mindful of it when using it. Avoid stepping on your rope because if the floor is rough or dirty it can rub dirt into the rope or be abrasive.
3) Ultraviolet light can cause some damage to ropes as well. The current materials used are more resistant to UV light than they were years ago but it’s a good idea to avoid exposing them to UV light for long periods of time.
4) Be sure that your rope is compatible with the gear you’re using. Check your pulleys, descenders, ascenders and prusik cords for the rope sizes and diameters that they’re made for.
5) Avoid chemicals at all costs because even the fumes can damage the rope and there won’t necessarily be any visible signs of dam- age.
6) Finally, avoid heat when using or storing your rope as extreme heat can melt a rope and lessen the strength. Be aware of the am- bient conditions your rope will be used in or stored in; for example, using a rope in fire rescue or storing a rope in the trunk of a car during the summer. Knowing the temperatures that your rope is built to withstand is essential to caring for your rope.
SEWN EYES PMI uses precision stitching to create a permanent, sewn termination that is stronger than any knot and nearly as strong as the rope itself. Heat shrink tubing protects the stitching and the label from abrasion. PMI can sew either one or two end terminations on any PMI rope.
Key Features: Streamlined permanent termination . No knots . Nearly as strong as the rope . Stronger than knots . Two separate but equal blocks of stitching provide greater safety
9 mm Ropes MBS: 20 kN (4496 lbf) One End KT36088 Two Ends KT36089
10 mm Ropes MBS: 25 kN (5626 lbf) One End KT36086 Two Ends KT36087
11 mm - 11.5 mm Ropes MBS: 29 kN (6519 lbf) One End KT36084 Two Ends KT36085
12.5 mm - 13.3 mm Ropes MBS: 39 kN (8768 lbf) One End KT36080 Two Ends KT36083
PMI SWAGED TERMINATIONS High strength, no-knot terminations for PMI Classic and Sport ropes. Swaged terminations are formed using aluminum sleeves and a stainless steel thimble. Swages are applied to the rope using a precision steel die and the resulting termination is nearly as strong as the rope itself. Only PMI Classic and Sport ropes may be swaged. (Ropes may not be swaged after leaving factory.)
Key Features: High strength termination . Available for 11 mm or 12.5 mm PMI Classic Ropes . Stronger than knots
11 mm MBS: 26 kN (5845 lbf) One End 4.8 oz (136 g) Two Ends 9.6 oz (272 g) Thimble 1 oz (28 g)
12.5 mm MBS: 39 kN (8768 lbf) One End 4.8 oz (136 g) Two Ends 9.6 oz (272 g) Thimble 1.4 oz (39.7 g)
