Bus Drop Grips provide a safe, easy and economical method to support flexible cord or bus drop cable at bus duct and other industrial areas.

The broad application of Kellems grips on a wide variety of objects requires that adequate safety factors be used to establish working loads. The approximate breaking strength of a Kellems grip represents an average calculation based on data established from actual direct tension testing done in our engineering laboratories.

It is impossible to catalog or guarantee a safety factor suitable for all applications as operating conditions are never the same. The tension, diameter, movement, number of objects gripped, gripping surface, and the attachments used are just some of the factors which vary with each application. These factors, together with the effects of abrasion, corrosion, prior use or abuse and any other variables of a specific application, must be considered by the user and the grip replaced as appropriate. Where the conditions of the application are not well defined or known or where risk of injury to persons or property is involved, a greater safety factor should be utilized. Should our opinion be needed, call the factory.

Under normal conditions, Kellems' recommended factor of safety is five for catalog listed pulling grips, and ten for catalog listed support grips. The factory should be consulted for specific application recommendations where strength and holding power are important factors.

Any warranty as to quality, performance or fitness for use of grips is always premised on the condition that the published breaking strengths apply only to new, unused grips, and that such products are properly stored, handles, used, maintained and inspected by the user at a frequency appropriate for the use and condition of the grip.

For grip applications on materials other than those that the grips have been specifically designed for, consult the factory.
