Nicopress Clamps
Installing Clamps by Nicopress Pliers
Procedure of clamp installation by Nicopress pliers is shown on Fig. 5.
First pull the cable through the clamp, make a loop around the thumb
and pull the cable end back through the clamp. The cable end should
overlap by about 32 mm (1.25 in) from the clamp after its puling
through. The overlapping will ensure that the cable end will not be
pulled back into the clamp during the clamp squeezing. Before actual
squeezing the clamp it is also necessary to verify which cable terminal
will be used, whether thimble or suspension eye, because some
terminals must be put into the cable before actual clamp squeezing.
