Leviton Telcom L8550 Pull Grip Balanced Cable

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM L8550 is a pull grip designed for use with single and double wave balanced cable installations. Pull grips, also called cable pulling grips or Kellems grips, attach to the end or body of a cable and distribute pulling tension evenly across the cable jacket during installation. This hardware accessory is used by electricians and low-voltage technicians to prevent jacket damage and conductor stress when pulling cable through conduit, cable trays, or building pathways. The L8550 is sold as a single unit and is suited for structured wiring and telecommunications cabling work.

This pull grip is intended for balanced cable applications, which typically include twisted-pair telecommunications and data cabling used in commercial and residential structured wiring systems. It is appropriate for use during initial cable pulls in new construction or retrofit installations where cables must be routed through conduit runs, cable trays, or between floors and walls. Low-voltage installers and licensed electricians will find this accessory useful wherever controlled-tension cable pulling is required to protect cable integrity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician following applicable NEC guidelines for cable pulling and raceway fill. De-energize and isolate any adjacent circuits before working in cable trays or conduit bundles. Attach the pull grip securely to the cable end or body before beginning the pull, and do not exceed the rated pulling tension for the cable being installed. Inspect the grip and cable jacket after the pull is complete before terminating.
