Product Description

Preformed Line Products DG-4545 DISTRIBUTION-GRIP DE .410-.460 NEW CROSSOVER MARKS: -Indicate starting point for application. COLOR CODE & LENGTH: -Assist in identification of conductorsize, corresponding to tabular information appearing on catalog pages. IDENTIFICATION TAPE: -Shows catalog number, nominal sizes. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS: -Distribution-Grip Dead-end, manufactured of aluminum covered steel, is designed for single-pole distribution construction. Mechanical strength meets the requirements of primaries, secondaries, and substation feeders. -Distribution-Grip Dead-end is recommended for direct application over plastic jacketed (not fabric covered) conductor. Coated Dead-ends are also recommended for jacketed conductor. -The Distribution-Grip Dead-end is designed to grip the conductor uniformly to prevent distortion of the conductor. It also offers a unique design that eliminates bolts, nuts, washers and other component parts that may become lost or damaged during installation or in service. -During installation, and at all times, care should be taken to avoid gouging or damaging the coating of the Distribution- Grip Dead-end or the conductor itself. **Distribution-Grip Dead-ends should not be used as tools; i.e., come-alongs, pulling-in grips, etc.** -Tools are not required nor recommended to install Distribution-Grip Dead-ends, except for hot stick applications. -RURAL UTILITIES SERVICE: -The Distribution Grip Deadend is listed for use on RUS accepted conductors used by RUS fund borrowers. The Distribution Grip Dead-end is listed on page BY-1 of the RUS accepted list of material -RATED HOLDING STRENGTH: -In arriving at "Rated Holding Strengths," actual results of tests on unweathered conductor are studied, and consideration is given to dimensional tolerances for the sizes encompassed. These minimum valuesare conservative when compared to "typical" values, or, actual tests on conductor which has been in service. -TAPPING: -Tapping over the applied legs of Distribution-Grip Dead-end is not recommended. Taps can be made on the conductor, ahead of the Dead-end, or, the conductor can continue through the crossover point of the grip with connectors applied to the continued tail. -VIBRATION DAMPERS: -The use of Spiral Vibration Dampers, in Motion control section, should be considered for areas experiencing a history of vibration. -APPLICATION-INSPECTION: -Dead-ends should not be re-used after original installation. Lay direction of both the Dead-end and the conductor should be the same. Most conductor is right-hand lay. -Not recommended for use on overhead shield wires. Distribution Grip (Slack Span/Overhead) Dead Ends are not recommended for use with high temperature/low sag conductors such as ACSS, ACSS/AW, ACSS/TW, ACCR or other types of conductors with loose, and/or annealed outer layer strands. **Distribution Grip (Slack Span/Overhead) Dead Ends are not recommended for use with high temperature/low sag conductors such as ACSS, ACSS/AW, ACSS/TW, ACCR or other types of conductors with loose, and/or annealed outer layer strands.**
