Grip Wire

Steel wire grips are an essential part of electrical and communications transmission systems. Manufacturers use dead-end cable grip wire to create the U-shaped piece that secures guy wires to their anchors. 

Once the wire is formed into steel wire grips, this piece loops through the anchor's eye and twists around the end of the guy wire. The short leg wraps around the wire first, and the longer leg snaps into place as you twist it. After installing two or three pitches, the legs can be split farther into individual wires or small groups for ease of installation. 

Since these parts are critical for securing guy wire to its anchors, choosing a reputable steel supplier is imperative. At Bekaert, we are the leading steel wire manufacturer in North America, and we offer a full range of expert services.
