Klein Tools Chicago Grips - Manual (Page 6)

Additional Best Practices for ACSS Conductors
1. For ACSS conductors larger than 0.953” outside diameter (approximately 600MCM)- use the Klein Tools 1628-50 or
1628-40 series Chicago-style wire-pulling grips. The necessary grip size should be determined based on the cable
outside diameter. For applications where the load is expected to exceed 12,500 lbs., use two of the appropriate grips in
tandem to prevent cable deformation. For grip recommendations, please contact your Klein Tools sales representative or
customer service.
2. For ACSS conductor sizes smaller than 0.953” outside diameter (approximately 600MCM)- use two of the
appropriate Klein Tools 1656 series Chicago grips in tandem. The necessary grip size should be determined based
on the cable outside diameter. For grip recommendations, please contact your Klein Tools sales representative or
customer service.
