Can Gripple hangers be adjusted?
Gripple hangers can be adjusted upwards, and it is better practice to hang low and work up, removing the need for using the setting key. Once the installation is secured on Gripple hangers, the load can be raised and the hangers adjusted upwards to their final position. This can be done by either pulling more wire through the Gripple on the tail end, or by sliding the Gripple up the active line. However, a setting key is provided to allow for slight adjustments downwards when not under load.
Once fitted, the hanger will self-load under the weight of the installation, securing the serrated teeth in place and ensuring no vertical movement.
