One important caveat. Preformed grips come with two sets of
crossover marks. The set nearest the termination loop is for normal
applications to
the guy wire. The second set that is farther away from the termination loop
is used when using the grip thru an insulator - e.g. 502, etc. This gives the
grip a shallower crossover angle. Using the first set of marks thru an
insulator puts some funny stresses on the grip.
