Maximum Cable Dia. Since YaleGrips fit over a larger range of diameters, fewer Grips need to be stocked to satisfy your pulling requirements. The all-synthetic construction is much easier on coated sheaves and ancillary hardware. If the stopper is to be applied permanently to a cable or temporarily to a slippery surface, then the throat of the eye and the tail ends should be securely seized to the cable to prevent movement. It is not necessary to use a clove hitch in addition to seizing to secure the stopper tails.
Additional integrity is achieved by serving the stopper wraps with appropriate twine or tape.
YaleGrips may be installed on a wide variety of materials many with unique surface textures, making it impossible to accurately predict gripping performance in all applications. Wrap the standing cable ten times with the first stopper tail. Begin with a wrap length approximately equal to 12 cable diameters and decrease this length by one cable diameter with each wrap and secure the end with a clove hitch. Wrap the second stopper tail in the opposite direction duplicating the wrap lengths of the first. End with a clove hitch on the standing cable just beyond the first hitch.
