In some transmission applications
commonly using the 1628-30, 1628-40 or 1628-50 series Chicago Grips – there is a
risk of cable deformation under high tensions. To avoid this risk, Klein Tools recommends using two grips in tandem if the load
is expected to exceed the lesser of 12,500 lbs. (5670 kg) or 40% of the ACSR conductor's tensile strength.
