- Description
- A Suspension System used in the construction industry. Made of a zinc wire joiner and tensioning device together with a length of steel wire rope of either 1.5 - 3mm diameter cut to length and a snap hook crimped to one end on specially designed machines. It is designed for the fast installation of a variety of mechanical, electrical, HVAC, lighting and acoustic suspensions from ceilings, walls, or existing suspended building services. It has load ratings of up to 90 kg with a 5:1 safety factor. The system is used for installation of the applications detailed above. It can be installed up to 6 times faster than traditional hanging systems such as threaded rod or chain because of the design of the unique zinc fastener . It is the unique locking feature of the fastener that brings the system together, and removes the need for laborious tasks on site such as cutting, filing, or welding on site. The position can be adjusted quickly and easily without the use of a setting key to release the locking mechanism, allowing the user to adjust the height of the installation with ease. There are three components to the Gripple Standard Hanger with Snap Hook End Fixing System: 1) Gripple fastener, made from zinc – the zinc ingot is bought and then die cast in house 2) Steel wire rope (of 1.5 - 3mm diameter) is bought in on large reels and then cut, fused and processed in-house 3) Snap-hook crimped to one end of the cut length of wire. The crimping of the snap hook onto the wire is also processed in house It is designed to allow for quicker installation on site and has wire of specific diameters fed through it, which, when used in conjunction with the correct end-fixing, allows the user to suspend a variety of applications from the ceiling, roof, wall or from existing suspended building services. The unique safety locking mechanism holds the wire in place and prevents the wire from coming back out unless a release key is used. It can be adjusted quickly and easily using a setting key to release the mechanism, allowing the user to adjust the height of the installation with ease. The Gripple Standard Hanger with Snap Hook End Fixing is mainly used to suspend items from brackets, purlin clips, trays and light fittings. The snap hook clips onto one of the above and the other end of the wire is then fed through the Gripple Standard Hanger, round or through whatever is being suspended and then fed back through the other side. The Gripple Standard Hanger with Snap Hook End Fixing system is sold as a kit, and is generally bagged up in 10’s. A set of 10 would go into a Gripple printed bag, and into Gripple logo outer cartons.
