GUY-GRIP

Dead-End From Preformed

World’s Most Effective
Guy Terminating Device.
 World’s Most Effective
Guy Terminating Device.
The GUY-GRIP dead-end from
Preformed Line Products Company
is a strand terminating device
which is used by hundreds of electric
power utilities, telephone companies,
CATV companies and government
installations throughout the world.
GUY-GRIP dead-ends provide a
superior, as well as economical way
to secure guy strand in all types of
environments. Compare GUY-GRIP
dead-ends to other methods of strand
termination and you'll see why over
250 million GUY-GRIP dead-ends
have been installed throughout the
world.
How They Work
GUY-GRIP dead-ends utilize the
proven helical concept that provides a
constant radial gripping force on the
strand.
This is made possible because the
inner diameter of the helically formed
legs of the GUY-GRIP dead-end is
about 20% smaller than the outside
diameter of the strand. The legs hold
the strand snuggly and securely.

For added gripping and holding
strength the inside surface of each
leg is coated with an inert grit.

Benefits of
GUY-GRIP Dead-Ends The loop of the GUY-GRIP dead-end
is designed to fit practically all types
of recommended hardware such as
1. Holding Strength anchor eyes, thimble eyes, strain
in-sulators, etc. PREFORMED
GUY-GRIP dead-ends will develop originated the cabled loop
100% of the strand's published rated GUY-GRIP dead-end. Cabling (twist-
breaking strength, even on Extra High ing of the wires in the loop area)

grooves of terminating hardware as
2. Material would a piece of strand thereby
distributing the load evenly and
Compatibility uniformly.
GUY-GRIP dead-ends are made
from the same basic material as the
strand to reduce the possibility of
electro-galvanic corrosion. They're
made from galvanized steel, Alumow-
eld®, Copperweld®, alumi-nized and
stainless steel wire.
3. Variety of Sizes
A complete line of GUY-GRIP
dead-end is available for strand sizes
from 3/16" to 7/16". For strand sizes 5. Extra Applied Length
used for guying transmission
structures, microwave towers, and Under severe tension, dynamic
signal antennas, Big-Grip dead-ends stresses, or environmental extremes
are available. GUY-GRIP dead-ends develop the
Rated Breaking Strength of the
strand. In the field our extra applied
length acts as an extra margin of
safety for your crews from first
application through retensioning and
final application.

 6. Appearance
Compare the GUY-GRIP dead-ends
with other methods of securing strand
— no bulky clips, clamps or devices.
The slim profile of the GUY-GRIP
dead-end blends aesthetically with
the strand. Also all GUY-GRIP
dead-ends are color coded and
tagged for ease of identification.
7. Ease of Application
GUY-GRIP dead-ends are applied in
minutes. The GUY-GRIP dead-end is
simply wrapped around the strand ay
hand. No tools are required. When
multiple guys are to be installed on
the same anchor rod equalized
tension is obtained through the
PREFORMED Positive Control
Method. It's simply a matter of
tensioning the strand and wrapping
on the GUY-GRIP dead-end.
Complete application instructions are
available.
A movie covering the application of
GUY-GRIP dead-ends and the
Positive Control Tensioning Method
is available from your PREFORMED
Representative.
8. Full View Safety
Every part of the GUY-GRIP
dead-end is visible while being
applied and after it is applied. you'll
know it's right — you can see it.
9. Cost Savings
GUY-GRIP dead-ends can ease you
money. ask your PREFORMED
Representative to figure your exact
savings.
GUY-GRIP Dead-Ends
are Lab Tested for
Proven
Performence
Preformed Line Products is the
world's leading producer of helical
products and maintains the most
complete laboratory and engineering
facilities of Its type in the world. Just
about every conceivable lest is made
on PREFORMED Products to assure
reliability. Following ani some of the
tests to which GUY-GRIP dead-ends
are subjected to provide designed
strength assurance.
HOLDING STRENGTH - GUY-GRIP
dead-ends hold in excess of 100% of
the RHS of the strand. The constant
radial gripping force of the helical
legs grip the strand uniformly and
provide equal distribution of the
applied load.
GUY-GRIP decd-ends are applied to
the strand and turnnunati to failure
Results — In every cast GUY-GRIP
deed-ends held 100% of the
published RBS of the strand. (Actual
test results on back page).
FREE FALL IMPACT TESTS —
Free fall impact tests are conducted
with a vertical impact machine in the
PREFORMED laboratory. These
tests simulate actual field conditions
that occur during vehicular impact or
from falling storm debris. Once again
GUY-GRIP dead-ends held well
above the published RES of the
strand.
DYNAMIC TESTING — Strand and
strand Elting' are subjected to many
dynamic conditions in the field such
as vibration. cyclic tension and
re-peated impact. All these condi-
tions are routinely simulated in the
PRE. FORMED Reward, and
Engineering Laboratory.
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING
GUY-GRIP dead ends and the raw
material used to make them are also
subjected to a variety of environmen-
tal tests: Salt spray, ultra violet rays
and extreme temperatures to assure
total reliability regardless of climate or
weather extreme.
PROVEN PERFORMANCE IN THE
FIELD — Over 250 million
GUY-GRIP dead-ends have been
installed throughout the world in the
last 25 years
