2000MCM PowerGrips
DCD’s PowerGrips were featured in the July/August edition of Innovation magazine’s 2008/2009 Project Highlights! Innovation is the official publication of APEGBC, and showcases highlights in a yearly issue.
The larger Grips – for conductors up to 2000MCM (about 1-5/8″ diameter) – were developed in 2009 and load tested well past the Safe Working Load of the copper wire. One size body will now fit individual nuts for 1250, 1500, 1750 and 2000MCM conductor.
See the webpage for details of the PowerGrips in general, or call for specific information on the new, larger sizes. (They’re so new, they’re not even in the catalog yet!)
