Can you use 3/8" nylon rope with this pulley or strictly cable only?

Clearance is tight, it is narrow for 3/8" wire rope. Also it clearly states it is not for hoisting.

The width of the pulley where the rope would ride is 1/4". I use this pulley with cable.

Lynn - You could use the 3/8 rope, but the weak link will then be the rope. The pulley is rated at 8,000 lbs. You will be lucky to get a few hundred pounds with 3/8 rope. If strength is not a significant concern the rope should work just fine. Good luck.

3/8, 7/16, or 1/2 inch nylon rope would work fine. Becareful not to exceed the tensile strength of whatever rope you use. Cheers.

I am guessing that it will depend on what the purpose of the carabiner is. It should be large enough to be comfortable in the hand if you are planning on having to change the rope or its position. I would suggest 3" at a minimum.

No--Would not use for any rope over 1/2 unless you plan to insert the rope thru the opening and tie a simple knot.Bug-SC

I purchased the 3/8" version and it holds my rope light firmly in place. My rope light is outdoors subject to heavy winds at times and i have had no issues.

Hello !I have used the wire on an 8 foot span as a clothesline, replacing an old nylon one which started to fray. I had two pulleys on either end already installed. I also purchased a line tightener and fastened the whole thing altogether using zap straps. The wire is of good quality and strong. I usually hang towels on it directly from the washing machine and so far have had no problems. I think that if you use a tightening device on your line to cut any slack that it could work well for you. Good luck !Catherine

My winch has 3/16" wire rope, with that said it lays nicely in the working surface of the sheave. There is slight space on either side, like the others stated 1/4" would run through fine. But unfortunately the package doesn't state a safe working diameter. So since it's a ATV snatch block I can't imagine anyone using big cable. Hope this helps, sorry I don't have a definitive answer.

Cable dia. is 3/32 (.093); Cable length 50'. I see no reason that the cable couldn't be replaced by nylon rope.

You can, but you'll have to cut down the rope it comes with for the top part if needed or use another rope with the length you need.

No, use a puller for that purpose, these are not designed for that... The jaws are not small enough to fit behind the groove that is located on the circumference of the shaft. If you try and pull from behind the whole diameter of the pulley you will warp or break it and it will not be of any use.

I wouldn't use a nylon leash for a tie out. I recommend purchasing a cable tie out. You screw in a big eye hook to something wood and hook the cable tie out to that. something like this IIT 99914 Dog Tie-Out Cable - 20 Feet

This product will accommodate 3/16 cable. Diameter of screw is only 3/16 and shaft is 1inch long. Backing this screw out and replacing with 3/8 would probably break the plastic housing IMO. If you want to take that chance go for it. Make no mistake though, this is pretty tough plastic and the bite this cable holder has is rock solid using the screw that is supplied. I have this securing rg6 cable to aluminium siding on the house and this hasn't budged in a 45mph wind. Good luck!

Technically it could be however, polypropylene rope is not UV resistant (ie will rot in the sun), will stretch and will be quickly damaged by friction. I would STRONGLY suggest metal cables if you are using this as a person trolley. 3/8" or less works well regardless of material.

I have a 60 meter 10mm rope and it works fine. Not the same, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.

I would only go to 3/8, 7-21(12K WL but can actually handle close to 20K) that is already a greater capacity then the snatch block itself. one thing to keep in mind as you pull and increase the tension the cable may snap, to avoid a nasty situation, cut up and old bath towel and tie strips every 8-10 feet. If the line should break, the towels will cause it to drop rather then snap, like fly fishing. Hope this helped.

Yes, this will easily work with 3/8 cable. Groove diameter is over 1/2 " so it will work with even larger cables.

No, its too wide, you cant only crimp the bare cable, itll grab the cover tabs. You need 1/4" wide yaws and these are 3/8" or 7/16" wide.

I highly doubt it. The stress of pulling would likely overcome the carabiner and quite probably the rope itself. It's an ANCHOR line, not a tow line.
