The general process in making the preformed guy grip:

As the installation process, the process of making a guy grip is also simple and straightforward.

Here is all you should do:

 

Dead end grip

1. The aluminum or steel wire is cut into an ideal length with the help of a cutting machine. It is then performed into the helical shape.
2. 3 or 5 aluminum or short steel wire pieces are bundled or packed together using a cable tie. After that, the bundled wire is dipped in glue. The wire glue is left to dry up, then the cable’s tire is cut off. All the wires are then dipped in glue again.
3. Spray sanding is done within the helical wire. Sanding is needed to enhance the strength of its grips.
4. Finally, the middle part of the wires is made to stand and bent into two legs.

Again here, the process is simple. However, the manufacturer must adhere to strict quality control to produce quality and reliable guy grip.

How does the guy grip dead end install?

Now we explain the dead end grip installation step by step:

1. The first step is to install the thimble clevis and insert one leg of the preformed guy grip.

2. The second step is to make the two legs of the guy grip dead end parallel with the cable. Make a color label on the cable and The guy grip color mark fit the label on the cable to grab the legs of the guy grip.

3. The final step is to continue to grab the guy grip dead end to ensure the cable is fully wrapped by the preformed grip.

One good thing about guy grip dead ends is that they work in a simple way. Yes, their installation method is very simple.

Here is a simple video on how to install guy grip:

Did you see that?

Anyway, let me make four important observations here:

1. This pole line hardware is installed by just wrapping its legs on conductors, grounding wires or cables by hand.
2. Its two helical legs enfold into an empty tube. Its head will then be closed like a circle.

• When guy grip dead end wraps on the stay wire, the grip will be strong. This helps in preventing slips between the guy grip and the guy conductor.

1. The closed circle will be combined with anchor rods or insulators on towers or poles.

As you can see, there is nothing difficult when it comes to installing a guy grip.
