Gripple

Manufacturer’s Recommendations and Important Notes
Gripple manufactures the speed clamps we provide with this product. To ensure
maximum safety, it is essential to follow their recommendations as listed herein
• For indoor use
in a dry environment.
• Do not apply lubricant
to any part of the assembly as this will alter the surface
of the cable, attracting dirt and debris to adhere and possibly reducing the load
capacity due to lubricant-induced slippage.
• Do not use on lifting applications
; for static loads only.
• Do not use for loads outside the stated range of the product
. The Gripple
wedges work by using the weight of the load to draw the wedge into the cable,
creating a secure grip. If used with too light a load, the wedge may not be able to
securely grip the cable.
• Do not exceed the Safe Working Load
(SWL) of the product. Each product is
load rated and incorporates a minimum safety factor of 5:1. The SWL takes into
account the specification criteria of the Gripple, the cable and the pressed ferule.
• The #2 Gripple
products we supply have suitable minimum load and the maxi-
mum SWL specifications to be used with Community’s Pendant loudspeakers.
• Do not use on coated wire rope
. Prior to assembly, it is essential to strip off any
coating on the length of cable to be inserted into the Gripple. It is important to
maintain the metal-to-metal contact between the locking wedges in the Gripple
and the cable.
• When applying paint or other coating
, ensure that a dedicated Gripple decor
cover is used to cover the Gripple. This will ensure that the movement of the
locking wedges inside the assembly is not impaired. After painting, the Gripple
should not be repositioned on the cable.
• Do not use standard zinc galvanized Gripple products in chlorinated envi-
ronments
. Use only Stainless Steel Gripple products in these environments.
