CABLE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Strip approximately three inches of insulation off the
ends of the cables to be pulled.
The cable may be reduced in diameter as follows:
1. The central core should be clipped away and the
outer strands used in the grip head.
2. Using the Allen Wrench provided, back out
the set screws far enough to accomodate the
stripped cables.
3. Insert the bare wire strands into the grip head as
far as they will go.
4. Tighten both set screws in each grip jaw securely
against the conductors.
5. CAUTION: If the set screws extend above the
surface of the gripping head, damage to the
conduit could result. To prevent this, wrap the
head with electrical tape.
The Greenlee No. 624 Wire Grip is designed with four
gripping jaws to pull one or more conductors of either
copper or aluminum in 2” or larger size conduit.
The 624 Greenlee Wire Grip contains the following:
• One Each No. 624 Wire Grip
• One Each 905 1208.1 Allen Wrench
• Two Each 905 1352.0 Extra Set Screws
IMPORTANT: To avoid a pulling hazard, use the
following maximum load ratings.
• 1750 pounds maximum when a single wire grip
collar is used.
• 3250 pounds maximum on a wire grip pair, 624S
or 624L.
• 6500 pounds maximum both grip pairs.
NOTE: The grip head should not be more than 60%
lled nor less than 40% lled to assure that the set
screw does not project above the surface of the grip
body when the set screws are tightened down.
