GRIPPLE Express Installation Manuallines

Manufacturer's Recommendations
LOADS – Always use product within its stated Safe Working Load
(SWL).
LIFTING & MOVEMENT – Do not use for lifting, such as in a crane or
pulley situation, or for hanging services exhibiting movement or dynamic
behavior. Designed for hanging statically positioned services only.
INSTALLATION: Do not walk or stand on the Gripple product
installation.
PAINTING – Do not paint the Gripple Express fastener. Ensure that the
fastener is in its final position prior to applying any paint to the cable
assembly. Do not move Gripple fastener after painting.
CABLE – Always use Gripple supplied and specified cable. Never
use on coated cable or other cable. Trim any damaged filaments with
Gripple wire cutters before use.
ENVIRONMENT – Gripple products, including Stainless Steel, are
NOT suitable for use in chlorinated / swimming pool environments.
Use standard or Express Gripple hangers in DRY LOCATIONS
ONLY. Stainless Steel Gripple hangers are SUITABLE FOR DAMP

LUBRICATION – Do not apply oil or any other lubricant to the Gripple
fastener or any other part of the cable assembly.
JOINING – Never join two cable ends together in-line. Only pass the free
end of the cable in a continuous loop through both channels of the Gripple
fastener. The angle inside the Gripple formed loop must not exceed 60˚.
HANGING AT AN ANGLE TO VERTICAL – Ensure that the load
calculation considers the effect of 'side load'. For example, at an angle
of 60˚ to vertical, the SWL is reduced by 50%. (See published technical
information on website or in Product Guide.)
DUCTING: When installing wraparound hangers on round/spiral ducting
or pipes, the final inclusive angle of the assembly should not exceed 60˚.
Y-FIT: Legs on Y-Fit hangers are not be installed at angles greater than
60˚.
Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in product malfunction and
possible damage to property or person and will invalidate the Gripple warranty. Gripple
products are warranted to conform to the manufacturer's published specifications at
the time of shipment and to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. No
other warranty, whether express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability
or fitness for purpose, shall exist in connection with the
sale or use of any Gripple product.
3. Loop around ceiling or service

Hanger Angles

If cable is suspended at an angle
from vertical, an additional sideways
load is applied which reduces
the load capacity of the overall
suspension. Please see published
technical information regarding this
net effect on Safe Working Load.
