How far apart should U bolt clips be spaced?

The correct spacing for U bolt clips is based on the diameter of the rope that is being secured. Specifically, U bolt clips should generally be spaced apart by a distance equal to two rope diameters. This spacing helps to ensure that the rope is secured properly and can handle the load without slipping or becoming damaged.

Using a measurement that is proportional to the rope diameter helps to account for the natural flexibility and movement of the rope under load. Therefore, this method provides a consistent approach that matches the characteristics of the material being used, allowing for effective and safe rigging practices. Proper clamp spacing is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the rigging setup and ensuring the safety of the operation.
