Hubbell 073041280 Bus Drop Support Grip 0.73-0.85 in

Product Description

The HUBBELL 073041280 is a single-weave bus drop support grip designed to secure flexible cord or bus drop cable at bus duct installations. The patented mesh construction grips the cable across its full diameter range of 0.73 to 0.85 inches without damaging the cable jacket. A single-eye termination with a 7-inch eye length provides a clean attachment point to bus duct hardware. The 6.75-inch mesh section absorbs tension, vibration, and incidental pull loads, protecting the cable and connection from mechanical stress. Breaking strength is rated at 1,400 pounds. The galvanized steel mesh resists corrosion in industrial environments. UL and CSA listed.

This grip is used in commercial and industrial electrical installations where bus drop cables connect from overhead bus duct to equipment or panels. It is the correct fitting for wide-range cable diameters between 0.73 and 0.85 inches. Electricians install these grips during bus duct tap and drop work to relieve strain at the cable termination point and to comply with code requirements for cable support at bus duct connections. Typical applications include factory floors, warehouses, and commercial buildings with overhead bus duct distribution systems.

Key Features

• Single-weave patented mesh construction grips cable without cutting or damaging the jacket
• Supports cable diameters from 0.73 to 0.85 inches — wide-range sizing reduces SKU count on the job
• 1,400-pound breaking strength handles tension loads in vertical bus drop runs
• Single-eye design, 7-inch eye length, for direct attachment to bus duct support hardware
• Galvanized steel mesh provides corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• UL and CSA listed for use in code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style support grip for flexible cord and bus drop cable installations at bus duct where cable outside diameter falls within 0.73 to 0.85 inches.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians install bus drop support grips as part of bus duct tap and drop assemblies in accordance with NEC Article 368 requirements for bus duct and associated wiring. De-energize and lock out the bus duct section before beginning any installation work. Slide the mesh grip over the cable end and seat it fully before attaching the eye to the bus duct support point. Do not overtighten or kink the cable at the grip entry point, as this can concentrate stress and defeat the strain-relief function.
