Get A Grip!
DCD Design’s Power-Grips and Swivel-Grips are designed to make cable installation easy and secure. The re-useable Grips are sized to fit electrical cable from 1/0 through 2000MCM and really shine for the larger cables, where the pulling tension will approach the cable manufacturer’s allowance.
Assembly of the Power-Grip to the electrical cable is quick and easy: cut back the insulation to bare the conductor; mount the Threaded Cone Nut to suit the conductor size; screw in the Tapered Insert; and mount the preferred attachment Body. You select which Body suits your connections: the Lug, Clevis or Swivel Bodies share common threads to quickly mix and match.
The Power-Grip locks onto the conductor strands and the harder you pull, the tighter your Grip! When you’ve completed your pull, cut away the portion of the cable conductor deformed inside the Power-Grip and that’s it. You’re ready to re-use the Grip for the next conductor.
