Hanging at 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.

ENVIRONMENT
- Grioole products, including Stainless Steel, are NOT suitable for
use in chlorinated / swimming pool environments. Use standard Gripple hangers
in
DRY LOCATIONS
ONLY. Stainless Steel Gripple hangers are
SUITABLE FOR
DAMP
LOCATIONS.
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
