Wire Pulling Grips
See Wire-Mesh Grip Warnings on page 277.
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.
Klein grips are reusable and do not damage the cable because pulling
tension remains uniform along the length of the grip. The mesh will fit
either a single cable, or a bundle of cables.
Klein pulling grips are woven of galvanized steel – strong and long lasting.
General Application Information
KPJ junior-duty series is used for small-job requirements where pulling
tensions are low. Typical uses are to connect insulated building wire
bundles to pulling tape, and pull through conduit.
KPL light duty grips are economical for applications such as industrial
plant wiring and rewiring jobs, and in underground electrical construction
where pulling tensions are low.
KSRK light-duty slack-pulling grips are split mesh, single-weave design
with rod closure for quick installation. Application areas similar to KSSK
series, except mesh lengths are shorter and are for lower pulling loads.
KPM medium-duty grips are flexible and easily handled, ideal for use
where the exceptional strength of heavy-duty grips is not required.
KSCK medium-duty slack-pulling grips with closed double-weave mesh
are used for final placement of underground cable where cable end is
available, or for removing cable. Standard lengths are used in restricted
space for short pulls. Where space is not restricted, longer lengths are
used for higher pulling loads.
KSSK medium-duty slack-pulling grip applications are similar to the
KSCK series except they are used where cable end is not available.
Double-weave split mesh has lace closure.
KP heavy-duty grip series are recommended for underground installations.
KPS heavy-duty grip series are also recommended for underground
installations. An additional feature of the KPS includes “rotating eye” to
allow twists in the cable to spin out during slack periods.
