Preformed grips can be used with either one. There is a second paint mark
farther away from the grip termination loop - this is the one to use when
putting them thru an insulator. It softens the exit angle of the grip from
the insulator.

Hey, Stan - this is a new millenium. Even Rohn sells them and has for
years.
Again, don't forget that the shorter grips are for utility grade 3/16"
wire rope and ARE NOT for EHS. DO NOT mix grips and cable types. There is a
grip for each application and wire rope configuration and it's different for
each one.
