The Guy Grip features a helical formed wire design that originated in the 1940s and has become an industry standard for anchoring utility poles globally. This preformed grip securely connects and holds conductors, grounding wires, and optical fiber cables in distribution construction, providing reliable tensioning and holding capacity for guy wires on single wood poles. The device anchors guy wires to poles, transmission towers, and other supports in electrical and telecommunication networks, ensuring structural stability.
Constructed from high-strength materials that match the applied strand, the Guy Grip is available in galvanized steel, Bezinal, Copperweld, aluminum clad steel, and stainless steel types such as 302 and 316. This material selection ensures compatibility and corrosion resistance in outdoor environments. The grip is rated at 100% of the strand’s published rated breaking strength, providing holding capacity that matches the guy wire’s tensile strength without failure under typical service conditions.
Application involves wrapping the helical legs around the guy strand by hand, ensuring matching lay direction—typically left-hand lay. The grip tightens automatically as tension increases and must be used on hardware held in a fixed position to prevent rotation. The unit is intended for single use but can be reinstalled up to two times within 90 days for retensioning purposes.
Compatible with Extra High Strength, High Strength, Siemens Martin, Utilities Grade, Bezinal, Aluminum Clad Steel, and Copperweld strands up to 1 inch in diameter, the Guy Grip uses color coding to identify appropriate strand sizes during installation.
Guy Grip Wholesaler with Over 21 Years of Industry Expertise
RaxPower, established in 2003, continues the legacy of helical formed wire design with the GUY-GRIP dead end, an industry standard for anchoring utility poles globally. The guy grip, also known as the preformed guy grip dead end, is designed to grip the conductor, ground the wire, and support optical fiber applications. It features helically formed legs that wrap securely around the strand, providing exceptional holding power.
The key features of the Guy Grip include:
- Rated at 100% of the strand’s published rated breaking strength, ensuring maximum reliability and credibility.
- Constructed from high-quality galvanized steel materials, offering excellent corrosion resistance and longevity, with hot-dip galvanization per international standards.
- Each turn of the helical legs includes inert grits to prevent slippage between the grip and conductors, delivering a perfectly executed grip performance.
- Color-coded markings facilitate quick and accurate size identification during installation.
- Preformed design allows for easy, hand-applied installation without special tools, meeting customer needs for efficiency.
It is used in various applications:
- Electrical distribution and transmission lines for stable pole and tower support.
- Telecommunication networks for secure cable anchoring.
- Industrial and construction projects, including bridges and railways.
- Renewable energy systems such as wind and solar installations for structure stabilization.
With over 21 years of expertise, we operate from Hebei Province, China, utilizing 17,000 square meters of production workshops and advanced manufacturing processes like hot forging for superior strength and accuracy. Our strict quality control, including raw material selection, multi-stage testing, and ISO-compliant galvanization, ensures every GUY-GRIP dead end meets the highest performance criteria, reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Guy Grip used for?
The Guy Grip is intended for use on single wood poles associated with distribution construction to anchor guy wires, providing stable support for utility poles. It grips the conductor, grounds the wire, and is used in optical fiber applications.
What is the rated strength of the Guy Grip?
The Guy Grip is rated at 100% of the strand's published rated breaking strength, ensuring it matches the full strength of the guy wire it secures.
What materials are used in the Guy Grip?
The Guy Grip is made of the same material as the strand to which it is applied, including galvanized steel, Bezinal, Copperweld, Aluminum clad steel, and stainless steel types such as Type 302 and Type 316. These materials provide corrosion resistance and long-term durability in outdoor environments.
How do I install the Guy Grip?
Installation is straightforward: wrap the helical legs of the Guy Grip around the conductor or cable by hand, ensuring the lay direction matches the strand. Align the legs parallel to the cable, mark it with the color code, and wrap firmly to secure without special tools.
Can the Guy Grip be reinstalled?
The Guy Grip is intended for single use but can be reinstalled twice within 90 days for retensioning purposes, after which a new dead-end should be used if removal is required.
What types of guy strand is the Guy Grip compatible with?
The Guy Grip is compatible with various strand types, including Extra High Strength, High Strength, Utilities Grade, Bezinal, Aluminum Clad Steel, Aluminized, Copperweld, and stainless steel strands, typically in left-hand lay standard.
How do you ensure the durability and long-term reliability of your hardware for critical infrastructure projects?
Our hardware is manufactured with strict quality control processes, including hot-dip galvanizing per ISO 1461 standards, and undergoes rigorous load testing to meet or exceed the rated breaking strength of the strand, providing dependable performance in harsh environmental conditions.
