Yes. Two Crosby G-450 wire rope clips are the minimum recommended per termination for 3/8" wire rope. When in doubt, always use more clips than the minimum recommended, never fewer, while following the manufacturer's installation requirements.
Proper installation is just as important as using the correct number of clips. Always remember the rule "Never saddle a dead horse"—the saddle of the clip must be placed on the live (load-bearing) end of the wire rope, with the U-bolt over the dead end. Never alternate the orientation of the clips. Proper clip spacing, rope turnback, and tightening torque are also essential for a secure termination.
For your convenience, we list the minimum number of clips required on the product page under the Specifications tab and in the reference table within the product description.
