ChicagoTM Grips 1628 Series • Round jaws are shaped to provide maximum contact with the cable, virtually eliminating cable deformation. 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.

TRANSMISSION ACSS TRANSMISSION CABLES ChicagoTM Grips 1628 Series • Round jaws are shaped to provide maximum contact with the cable, virtually eliminating cable deformation. Best Practices for ACSS Conductors 1. Larger than 0.953" outside diameter (approximately 600 MCM) - Use the 1628-50 or 1628-40 series Chicago Grips. The necessary grip size should be determined based on the cable outside diameter. For applications where the load is expected to exceed 10,000 lbs.

The following guidelines have been established to keep all grips in good working condition. Cleaning 1 2 Step 1. Use the Klein Grip Cleaning Wire Brush Set (Cat. No. 25450) or emery cloth to clean the surfaces of grip jaws (photo #1). 3 Step 3. Use the Klein Grip Cleaning Wire Brush to remove dirt and debris from the grip jaws (photo #3). Step 2. Spray de greaser on the grip jaws, all joints and moving parts (photo #2).

COMMON OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS Dead-Ending 1. S et up the ratchet hoist and Chicago Grip as shown here. 2. Ratchet the hoist until the cable is lined up with the dead-end fixture. 3. After the tension is approximately where it will need to be after termination, ratchet the hoist a couple more times to accommodate for tension loss after hoist removal. Consult cable specifications to ensure the maximum cable tension is not exceeded. 4.

TM Using Two Chicago Grips in Tandem For example, two Klein Tools 1628-40 Chicago Grips, each with a maximum safe load of 25,000 lbs. (11,340 kg) individually, have a combined working safe load of 37,500 lbs. (17,009 kg). 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.
