bending of the cable. They are used primarily where flexible cable connects electrical equipment to bus duct. They are also used to support or restrain air hose and water hose. Double Bus Drop Grips store excess cable neatly. Bus Drop Grips with Safety Springs and Strain Relief Grips can provide a complete flexible cord system which adapts to any layout. The Strain Relief Grips relieve the strain on the terminals. The Bus Drop Grips provide positive permanent support which, unlike rigid conduit systems, can be adjusted instantly if equipment is repositioned. Almost any system can be installed quickly even in cases where equipment and bus duct are distantly located or awkwardly positioned. Safety Spring -

approximate breaking strength listed in the catalog. CAUTION: The broad application of Remke grips requires adequate safety factors be used to establish a SAFE working load. Refer to specific catalog pages for more information. Single Eye Grips employ a single eye for each attachment to open hooks or other open end structural members. The formed eye tube assures long, trouble-free resistance to wear. Can be used with SAFETY SPRINGS. Universal Bail Grips employ a flexible "universal" bail eye for each attachment around closed-end structures such as pipe, columns or through closed eyes. The universal bail is a secure, self-locking attachment and is reusable. Removal is simple and quick. Can be used with SAFETY SPRINGS. Safety Springs can be used with either SINGLE EYE or UNIVERSAL BAIL GRIPS to relieve sudden tensions exerted on cable system. When used with single eye grip, disassemble drawbar from coil, placing drawbar through eye of grip, then replace drawbar.
Liqua-Seal Mesh Connectors Strain Relief Grips
Typical Bus Drop & Strain Relief System
Liqua-Seal Mesh Connectors prevent pullout and provide strain relief when connecting liquid-tight flexible metal conduit to electrical enclosures. Motor Box
Material The standard mesh material is galvanized steel which has high tensile strength and corrosion resistance (more than adequate for most indoor applications). Optional stainless steel grips are available. All Bus Drop Grips are "Wide Range" (to accept more cable per size) with strand equalizers which uniformly distribute compressive force over a large area of the cable for maximum gripping strength with minimum concentration of force without pinching the cable. Features/Benefits • Few Grips are needed to fit many cable sizes. • Readily installed, adjusted, repositioned, removed or reused which saves time and money when relocating plant wiring or machines. • Easily attached to both open and closed end structures. • Automatically adjust their gripping to hold the required load. • No special installer skill or special tools required. • Increases safety to personnel working in the application area. Working Load/Safety Factor This is an abbreviated version of the more detailed information on catalog page 28. The approximate breaking strength of the Remke grip represents an average calculation based on test factors which have been determined in our engineering labs using NEW grips and metal rods. As a rule of thumb the working load may be considered 1/10 of the
Material The standard mesh design is single weave, corrosion free stainless steel, these mesh grips are available with fittings made of steel (3/g"— 1" straight connectors) or ductile iron (11/4"—2" straight connectors and all 45° and 90° connectors), with or without insulated throat. Features/Benefits • The mesh exerts a uniformly distributed compressive force over a large area of the conduit for maximum gripping without pinching the conduit. • An endless weave conforms to the conduit, eliminating wedging or crushing of the conduit at that point. • Mesh material has high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. • Readily installed, adjusted, repositioned, removed or reused. • Automatically adjust their gripping to hold the required load. • No special installer skills or special tools required. Working Load/Safety Factor (see Wide Range Strain Relief Grips) Standard Strain Relief Connector Grips Standard Strain Relief Connector Grips are used in conduit hubs or knock-outs at the point where the portable electrical cable is to be terminated. The provide an environmental seal against dirt, moisture, coolants, corrosive fumes, etc. and provide strain relief where undue strain on the cable would otherwise cause loosening or pull-out at the individual wire terminals. Primary applications are in the wiring of portable power tools, power centers and bus drop cable systems.
