Introducing the Spiral Guy Grip — a high‑performance preformed helical dead‑end gripping device engineered to secure guy wires on power line and utility‑pole systems. It is designed especially for overhead line stability, pole guying, anchor terminations, and support of wires subject to tension, wind loads and dynamic forces.
By using a spiral (helical) wrap design, this product ensures uniform distribution of tension, excellent grip on the guy wire, minimal slippage, and long‑term reliability even in harsh outdoor environments.
Ensures secure and stable attachment of conductors to poles and towers, preventing slippage and maintaining line integrity under varying environmental conditions.
Provides reliable termination for guy wires, allowing efficient tensioning and strong mechanical connection to support power line structures safely.
Stabilizes telecom and fiber-optic lines, reducing sag and vibration, and ensuring uninterrupted signal transmission over long distances.
Ideal for rural or remote electrical distribution networks, offering cost-effective, durable, and easy-to-install solutions for low- to medium-voltage lines.
Increased structural stability and safety of utility poles and overhead lines.
Reduced risk of wire slippage, sag, or termination failure thanks to uniform load distribution.
Long service life and low maintenance thanks to corrosion resistance and robust design.
Faster installation reduces labour cost and downtime.
Compatible with many standard guying systems, making retrofit or new installations simpler.
Ensure the conductor/guy wire is clean and free of major surface damage or corrosion.
Begin wrapping the spiral grip onto the guy wire: follow manufacturer’s direction, ensure the legs of the spiral are fully wrapped around the wire, with proper lead‑in and tail lengths as specified.
Pull the guy wire to proper tension (as per project specification) and anchor to the pole or structure. Use a thimble, shackle or other termination hardware as required.
Inspect the installation: ensure wrap is complete, no gaps, grips are aligned, and there’s no abnormal bending or kinks.
Periodically inspect the termination for corrosion, wear, loosening or movement in service.

Q1: What is a guy grip and how does it differ from a clamp?
A1: A guy grip (also called a dead‑end grip or preformed dead‑end) is specifically designed to wrap around a guy wire and provide a permanent secure termination by distributing load along the spiral legs, rather than relying on a separate clamping screw.
In contrast, a clamp typically bites or compresses the conductor or wire and may require bolts or screws.
Q2: What sizes do I need to choose?
A2: You must match the grip model to the diameter and strand configuration of the guy/conductor. The manufacturer will provide a size chart listing the compatible diameters, lengths and minimum breaking loads. See sample size tables in industry guides.
Q3: What materials and finishes are used?
A3: Typically high‑tensile steel wire with hot‑dip galvanised coating (zinc or zinc/aluminium) is used for strength and corrosion resistance. Some versions may use aluminium alloy, stainless steel or clad materials for specific environments.
Q4: What are common causes of failure?
A4: Improper installation (wrong size, partial wrap), corrosion, abrasion, vibration fatigue, galvanic incompatibility (metal mismatch) and overload are typical failure causes. Routine inspection and correct specification mitigate these risks.
Q5: What environments are suitable?
A5: Utility, transmission, telecommunications, industrial, renewable‑energy (wind towers) and even marine/coastal installations (provided the finish is suitable). The product performs best in outdoor overhead applications.
