“Grip Circumference Range” refers to circumference of all cables held together.

Table 5 Reference Table: AWG or MCM Wire Sizes This table is to be used as a guide only. Sizes may vary by manufacturer.

Wire Pulling Grips

1. Determine grip circumference range by measuring circumference of bundle of cables to be held. 2. Read down to locate correct range. 3. Read across for catalog number size code.
