The Plow-Grip Flip!
The DCD Plow-Grip is a quick and easy connection in three different sizes, specifically designed to install PVC or PE duct by Vibratory Plow. It’s perfect for agricultural applications because it installs and removes in seconds. It’s built from stainless steel with hardened chain links and hardened expanding jaws that grip the inside of the ducting.
Though you can’t tell by looking at it, the Plow-Grip sleeve is reversible to fit various outside and inside diameters for ducting. All you need is a 9/16″ wrench – see our new video. Look for the groove around the sleeve – that’s the smaller outside diameter! The sleeve will cover 80# and 100# PE duct and Sch.40 up to SODR 26 PVC duct.
To assemble the Plow-Grip to the ducting, compress the head into the sleeve to contract the hardened steel jaws. The Plow-Grip can then be sleeved over the ducting. When the head is released, the jaws expand inside the duct and bite into the duct wall. As the pulling load is applied, it increases the bite of the jaws. When the pull is complete, pushing the head down will again contract the jaws allowing the Plow-Grip to be removed from the ducting.
