WIRE MESH PARTITIONS Selecting Proper Sized Pulling and Support Grips

Selecting Proper Sized Pulling and Support Grips Strength Information The approximate breaking strength of any Leviton Wire Mesh Safety Grip is based on working load information established by our engineering laboratories. In making these determinations, it is not possible to cover all applications and operating conditions. Variables such as diameter, gripping surface, number of items gripped, tension, movement, attachments, abrasion, corrosion, prior use and abuse must be assessed by the user. Greater safety factors should be utilized when the conditions of application are vague or unknown. For specific applications where strength and holding power are important, consult Leviton’s Technical Services Department. To determine the recommended working load safety factor for listed cable grips, divide the approximate breaking strength by 5 for pulling grips and by 10 for support grips. Leviton maintains a 6 Sigma Safety Factor for this recommended working load (using average break strengths obtained on new grips under lab test conditions). Example: For pulling grips—33,000 ÷ 5 = 6,600 lbs. which is the workload factor. Example: For support grips—10,080 ÷ 10 = 1,008 lbs. which is the workload factor. All warranties concerning product quality or performance are based on wire mesh safety grips that are properly stored and handled by the user, and grips that are maintained and inspected at a proper frequency in keeping with their use and condition. wire mesh partitions
