Installed correctly, it delivers the same Rated Holding Strength (RHS) as the guy wire itself, so the termination doesn't become the weak point in the system. Secure the installation with an ice clip. These grips install quickly without tools, and they're single-use equipment, though one can be re-applied within 90 days of the original installation if re-tensioning is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReading the Dead End\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"bannerImg\" style=\"max-width: 700px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/2229\/9949\/files\/big-grip-dead-end-illustration.png?v=1614781307\" alt=\"Big grip dead end illustration showing identification tape, color code, cross-over marks, and short and long legs\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdentification tape:\u003c\/strong\u003e shows the catalog number and nominal sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor code and length:\u003c\/strong\u003e identifies the strand size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-over marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e identify the starting point for application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort leg and long leg:\u003c\/strong\u003e the short leg should be applied first during installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur product experts can answer questions about guy wire dead end grips, guy wire specifications and uses, bulk quantity options, and more.
