    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.
