Cable grips are an indispensable tool for installing cables or ducting and have proven themselves in practice over a period of many years.
DCD cable grips are hand-woven by experienced trades people and this guarantees a consistent level of high quality. DCD grips are reverse woven, creating a loop at the end of the grip instead of being soldered or crimped together (see photo above of typical grip end). The wire is joined under the crimped head and testing proves this is never the weakest link of the product. The looped pulling head is actually a separate wire rope eye which is placed inside the swage sleeve along with the wire mesh strands. The swage sleeve is then crimped forming an extremely effective anchor point for both the looped head and the wire mesh. Testing proves this is never the weakest link of the product. The flexible eye allows cable to be pulled more easily through smaller ducting. The DCD cable grips enclose the cable firmly over the entire length of the mesh. They are made of high tensile steel strands. Depending on the type of grip, the strand comprises 7, 12 or 19 wires. By selecting the most suitable strand, the tension distribution characteristics can be adjusted to suit the requirements. All DCD grips meet the highest standards in terms of material and workmanship and we are pleased to offer a wide range of grips with different designs and eye arrangements for onsite (or premise), underground or overhead installations. In addition to the grips listed, DCD can also supply special products for particular fields of application. Information on these will by supplied upon request. Some of the grips offered in this catalogue have Rotating heads which allow the grip to rotate while not under load. DCD also offers the 00501 series Swivel. Designed specifically for use with flexible eye grips, it is easily interchangeable but it also will not rotate under load. All capacities indicated are Approximate Breaking Strength. Each user must decide what safety factor they require for each specific operation before selecting which grip to use. Due to metal fatigue and possible in-use damage, quoted values only apply to new grips. Please refer to the following pages for information on DCD’s pulling grips and the pulling grip swivel. Line Swivels, Breakaway Swivels and Connectors suitable for use with the grips may also be found on this site. Key Benefits
