Grip for High Strength Cables 0.218-Inch

Designed for use on aluminum, copper, weatherproof coated wire, PVC covered conductors and messenger and guy strand. The Chicago style grip was designed for cable sizes from 0.218-Inch to 0.55-Inch (5.54 to 13.97 mm). When pulling EHS (extra-high-strength) galvanized-steel cable, the galvanizing has a tendency to coat the jaws of any grip, causing the cable to slip. Double V contour reduces the possibility of slippage and damage to the cable.

Features

• Double ''V'' grooves give four-point contact, reducing chance of slipping and providing proper alignment of wire and cable
• For larger conductors, see our grips with round inside-jaw contour
• Made in USA
• Designed for cable sizes from 0.218-Inch to 0.55-Inch (5.54 to 13.97 mm)
• Manufactured from drop-forged, heat-treated steel for excellent durability

Warnings

• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Before each use, clean jaw area and inspect grip for proper operation to avoid slippage.
• Grips are to be used for temporary installation, not for permanent anchorage.
• When used on/near energized lines, ground, insulate, or isolate grip before pulling.
• Always match proper size and type of grip to application.
