Due to limits of the inside width dimensions of master links, it may be necessary to choose a larger size link so that the thimbles do not bind against themselves. See illustration to the right.

Rated capacities of 4-leg bridles stated in the table below are what is published by the Wire Rope Technical Board Table RC 1-14 and based on IWRC EIPS wire ropes in the 6×19 and 6×36 classifications.
