REVISION H COMPRESSION CABLE PULLING GRIPS
Safety And Work Load Factors
Compression pulling grips are single use for pulling electrical cable. They are easy and fast
to install, providing the user with a slim prole that allows for easy passage through ducts
and conduit.
Compression Pulling Grips
Single-use compression cable pull product line is designed with the following Features & Benets:
BURNDY®
1. Pulling grips are to be installed by a qualied individual in accordance with all
applicable national and local safety, electrical and rigging codes, as well as per the
BURNDY®installation requirements.
2. Ensure that the correct grip is selected for your specic needs.
3. DO NOT use a pulling grip for any application other than pulling cable.
4. Thoroughly examine the grip for damage. DO NOT use a damaged grip.
5. Ensure that the recommended work load of the grip is suitable for the application.
Never use grips at their approximate rated breaking strength.
6. DO NOT alter grips in any way.
7. DO NOT attach any type of pulling hardware to any point on the grip other than the pulling
eye. The pulling eye is the only acceptable means of attachment to external hardware.
1. Range Taking With Dieless Tools
2. Accommodates (See table for specic wire combinations).
3. Parallel - Each compression grip comes in various lanyard length sizes
for pulling multiple cables simultaneously.
4. Crimp Bands - Crimp marks for easy crimp locations.

The broad application of compression grips on a variety of cable requires that adequate safety
factors be used to establish working loads. The approximate breaking strength of a
COMPRESSION grip represents an average calculation based on data established from
actual direct tension testing done in our engineering laboratories, see table below for
maximum rated pulling load.
It is impossible to catalog or guarantee a safety factor suitable for all applications as operating
conditions are never the same. The tension, diameter, movement, number of objects gripped,
gripping surface, and the attachments used are just some of the factors which vary with each
application. These factors, together with the eects of abrasion, corrosion, or abuse and any
other variables of a specic application, must be considered by the user and grip replaced as
appropriate. Where the conditions of the application are not well dened or known, or where
risk of injury to person or property is involved, a greater safety factor should be utilized.
Any warranty as to quality, performance or tness for the use of grips is always premised on
the condition that the published breaking strengths apply only to new, unused grips, and that
such products are properly stored, handled, used, maintained and inspected by the user for
the use and condition of the grip.
It is very important to comply with all the following precautions. Failure to do
so may result in property damage, personal injury or death.
