3/8" Tree-Grip Dead-end for EHS Cable - 15400 lbs Breaking Strength

TREE-GRIP Dead-ends are designed to eliminate the costly labor and time consuming hassle of cable splicing.  The factory-formed left hand lay helical legs of the TREE-GRIP Deadends wrap quickly around left hand lay extra-high strength (EHS) galvanized strands, eliminating the process of splicing common grade galvanized strand.  The end result is a labor saving application accomplishable in under 60 seconds.

• TREE-GRIP Dead-ends are designed to develop 100% of the published rated breaking strength of EHS strand. TREE-GRIP Dead-ends can also be used on common grade, Siemens-Martin, high strength and utilities grade strands.
• Using lower cost, extra high strength galvanized strand (left hand lay) with the TREE-GRIP Dead-end is designed to offer strength comparability with larger sizes of common grade galvanized steel strand.  This reduces strand expenditure and inventory.
• The TREE-GRIP Dead-end has a unique “THIMBLE-LOOP Design”, created specifically for the arborist industry.  This design prevents the thimble from falling out during installation.
• The TREE-GRIP Dead-end is prefabricated to maintain a consistent aesthetic appearance with every installation.
• Preformed Line Products developed the helical concept for gripping strand that is a key component of the TREE-GRIP.  The TREE-GRIP Dead-end's helical legs inside diameter is approximately 20% smaller than the outside diameter of the strands used.  This holds the strand snugly and securely, providing a constant radial gripping force so that the published rated breaking strength (RBS) of the strand can be achieved.

FOR USE ONLY WITH 1X7 STRAND CABLE, TYPICALLY EHS.  NOT FOR USE WITH REGULAR WIRE ROPE (COMMON 6-STRAND, 7X19, ETC.).
