Wire rope grips are a simple mechanical means of securing the end of a wire rope.
They are appropriate for temporarily securing the end of a wire rope that may need to be shortened from the gripped end.
Match the grip size directly to the bare diameter of the cable (5/8 inch or 16 mm).
If you strip the vinyl coating off the turnback section, use a 5/8-inch grip to clamp directly onto the bare steel core.
If you do not strip the vinyl coating, size the grip to match the total outer diameter including the coating (which may require a larger clip).
