> NEEDED; FAQs re Preformed, Guy Grips;
I suggest you start by calling Preformed Line Products Company (PLP) in
where-ever Michigan and request their catalog. It has a wealth of
information concerning what amateurs commonly refer to as "preforms" or
"grips". My catalog is at home - I'm sure someone here has their phone
number...
This reference source will show you the proper procedures for installing
these products, as well as give you all the guidance you need in
selecting the proper termination.
BEWARE ! PLP makes hundreds of different kinds of terminations - each
one engineered for a specific type of "cable". One can NOT grab any old
PLP product for a certain diameter cable and expect it to safely work on
galvanized guy strand.
PLP makes terminations for galvanized, ungalvanized, stainless,
aluminium, phosphore bronze, ect - right hand lay, left hand lay - 7
strand, 14 strand, ect ect ect ect - you get the picture !
