Description
The clamps are used on overhead line poles, masts and other structures on guy wires, including antenna mast structures. The termination strength is 100% of the wire breaking load. The guy tension is taken up with the VARI-GRIP U-bolt, so a separate turnbuckle is not installed. VARI-GRIP Link Plates are used for connection, and thimbles are supplied for Big-Grip.
