[TowerTalk] "Big Grip's"

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Big Grips are manufactured by Preformed Products. Rohn is one of their  
distributors as is Texas Towers and a number of electrical supply companies  
around the country. Most of the electrical supply companies distribute grips  
designed for the cable tv industry. These grips are very similar to the Big  
Grips but have fewer strands and are shorter; not recommended for tower  
installations.
 
Rohn products are sold through their dealers and distributors. So, there is 
 an added level of price markup for Big Grips purchased through Rohn  
distribution.
 
The key to buying the correct grip is the name "Big Grip" and the part  
number BG2142 for 3/16" grips or BG2144 for 1/4" grips.
 
There are many types of grips made and sold. Depending on a certain color  
band such as red is not enough to be sure you have the proper grip. Every 
single  grip has a factory applied label that includes the part number.
 
Genuine Big Grips are readily available at Texas Towers at a lower than  
Rohn price. Orders are taken at 1 800 272 3467 9AM to 5PM Monday -  Friday  or 
at _www.texastowers.com_ (http://www.texastowers.com)  any  time.

Big  grips are absolutely the only way to go.   Period-paragraph.



No fighting guy cable to get u-bolts on. 2-3  minutes and you are ready to
go.

Just make sure you get the correct  Big Grip, e.g for 3/16 EHS the Big Grip
is marked in  red.



.And, if it Rohn, it is good!
