How to Use a Preformed Dead End Grip

Step-by-Step Installation Guide: How to Use a Preformed Dead End Grip

• Understanding Dead end grip

In overhead ADSS and OPGW cable installations, the preformed dead end grip is a core accessory—its preformed, self-tightening design ensures secure cable termination while bearing full tensile load to prevent slippage or damage. As a global leader in cable accessories, JERA LINE’s preformed dead end grips are tailor-made for ADSS/OPGW cables, comply with IEC/ANSI standards, and serve projects in 30+ countries. Below is a simplified, category-based guide to its installation.

• Adss cable guy grip 

• Technical specification

• Pre-Installation Preparation

Confirm Compatibility: Check that the JERA LINE preformed dead end grip matches your cable type (ADSS uses non-metallic polymer cores; OPGW uses galvanized steel frames with polymer coatings) and diameter.

Gather Supplies: Prepare basic tools (wrenches, measuring tape) and JERA LINE’s complementary accessories (insulators, brackets) for one-stop installation.

Inspect Components & Site: Verify the grip (body, tension parts, anti-corrosion accessories) is undamaged (JERA LINE products undergo strict tensile/corrosion/UV tests); ensure the pole/tower termination point is stable and unobstructed.

• Cable & Grip Preparation

Treat the Cable End: Measure and mark the termination point, strip the outer sheath (if needed) without harming the inner core (critical for ADSS’s dielectric layer), then clean the stripped section to remove dust/moisture.

Position the Grip: Uncoil the JERA LINE preformed grip, align it with the marked cable end, and spiral-wrap it evenly (no gaps/overlaps)—its self-tightening design will enhance grip strength later.

• Fixation & Tension Adjustment

Anchor the Grip: Attach the grip’s terminal end to the pole/tower’s mounting bracket using JERA LINE’s provided hardware (no welding needed, thanks to modular design); tighten fasteners firmly (avoid over-tightening).

Fine-Tune Tension: Use the grip’s built-in tension-adjusting parts to match project specs; check for sagging—ensure load is evenly distributed across the cable.

• Final Inspection & Documentation

Check Installation: Confirm the grip is securely wrapped, the pole/tower connection is stable, and the cable has no kinks/damage; conduct a tensile load test (if required) to verify no slippage.

Record Details: Document the grip model, cable type, and tension settings; JERA LINE can assist with compliance documentation for smooth project execution.
