ACSR TRANSMISSION CABLESChicago™ Grips1628 Series • Round jaws are shaped to provide maximum contact with the cable, virtually eliminating cable deformation. In some transmission applications - commonly using the 1628-30,1628-40 or 1628-50 series Chicago Grips - there is a risk of cable deformation under high tensions. To avoid this risk, Klein Tools recommends using two grips in tandem if the load is expected to exceed the lesser of 12,500 lbs. (5670 kg) or 40% of the ACSR conductor's tensile strength. These grips are special order only. Application must be confirmed prior to ordering....
