DISTRIBUTION GRIP DEAD END

A distribution grip dead end is in fact recommended to be a replacement for a bare looped dead end. It is due to its strong loops and high holding power on the ACSR cable. The aluminum covered steel grip is utilized on the bare aluminum based conductors as well as galvanized steel grips that are utilized for plastic jacket conductors. The products are specially made for the construction of a single pole distribution.

The dead end is made of steel which is covered with aluminum. It is also made of galvanized steel. The color code, as well as the crossover marks, are used to identify the proper conductor size and show the application initial point. The identification tag shows the conductor diameter range, catalog number, and the nominal size of the conductor. There is also an open helix for small sizes as well as cable for bigger sizes.
