About the Gripple Features & Benefits Gripple hangers are the versatile way to suspend static loads. Their time saving qualities have been shown to reduce installation by up to 6 times compared to threaded rod, chain, hanger strap, or other loose cable systems. END-CAP: UV stabilized homopolymer polypropylene STAINLESS SPRING: Type 0 S6 stainless steel, hardened and tempered LOCKING WEDGES: Oil impregnated, sintered, hardened and tempered steel ZINC-HOUSING: One piece, die cast zinc, type ZA CABLE: Grade AISI 16 zinc galvanized BS 0 Size #1 # # # #5 Diameter /6 5/6 1/8 /16 1/ Cable cross sections: 7 x 7 7 x 19 Construction 7 x 7 7 x 7 7 x 7 7 x 19 7 x 19 Gripple hangers incorporate a length of pre-cut cable with a pre-fabricated end fixing for maximum speed, efficiency and safety. Their lightness is a major safety improvement, both in terms of carrying and storing the product easily on site and in reducing accident risk in aerial situations caused by falling materials. Gripple hangers are far less invasive than threaded rod and in fact enhance the aesthetics of installations. They allow the installer to position the hangers vertically or at an angle to the suspended object. Gripple hangers are available in numerous configurations for attachment to virtually any type of building structure. Gripple hangers are manufactured to ISO 900 standards and carry certificates from the following agencies: UL, SMACNA and ETL Intertek.

Toggle Down Hook 90º Eyelet 5 Sizes Gripple hangers are available in five load rated sizes. Each size is designed to carry a specific weight range and has a designated working load limit (WLL). The WLL is common to each of the different end fixings. The WLL gives a minimum 5:1 safety factor in a vertical plane and applies to all lengths. Standard lengths range from 5 ft to 0 ft. Other lengths can be made to order. WORKING LOAD LIMITS No. 1 No. No. No. No. 5 0 - lbs - 100 lbs 101-00 lbs 01-95 lbs 96-715 lbs No. 1 No. No. No. No. 5 5

If the cable is suspended at an angle, an additional sideways load is applied, which reduces the load capacity of the suspension.
