vinyl coated wire rope lowes quotation

Unless you are in a saltwater marine application galvanized wire rope would be a better buy. The zinc coating acts as a lubricant which reduces internal friction when bending. It also offers good corrosion resistance.

Do not get vinyl coated rope as the vinyl traps moisture and not as flexible. The vinyl covering deforms as it is bent around a sheeve. Vinyl covered write rope also is harder to terminate safely.

I always buy wire rope from a reputable source that has purchased rope from a known company. I know it is generally more costly but McMaster is one source I trust.
