1. Select the proper pulling-grip series (Prefix Letter Code…e.g. KPS)
based on the "General Application Information" descriptions in the
Wire-Mesh Grips Introduction on preceding pages.
2. Select grip size based on the outside diameter or circumference of the
cable(s) to be pulled. Refer to reference tables (on this and following
page) for convenience in determining cable diameters.
3. Use Pulling-Grip Selection Tables (on this and following page) to
determine the "Size" portion of the Catalog Number for the cable
diameter required. In the ordering tables (see following pages) this "Size"
code is incorporated within the catalog number under the various grip-
type classifications.
