Wire Pulling Grips Introduction – Wire-Mesh Grips Klein mesh pulling-grips are used for pulling overhead or underground cable, for stringing service or communication lines into buildings, for pulling wire through conduit, and for general underground construction. Klein grips may be used for pulling bare or insulated wires, and wire rope. They install quickly and easily, and are designed to pass readily through ducts, conduit, blocks, and sheaves.
Introduction – Wire-Mesh Grips How to select proper grip eye and mesh type 1. Flexible Eye: Closed Mesh KPJ/KPL/KPM/KP This pulling-grip eye allows maximum flexibility to follow the line of pull, and is used when the end of the cable is available. Mesh selection depends on the weight of the material being pulled.
Introduction – Wire-Mesh Grips Wire Pulling Grips How to select the proper pulling grip for your application 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.
