Distribution Grip Dead Ends are recommended for the termination of distribution conductors. They have a high mechanical strength, combined with a short overall length and the ability to interchange them amongst different conductor sizes. Distribution Grip Dead Ends are manufactured from galvanised steel.
For bare homogeneous conductors, the holding strengths approximate the rated breaking strength of the conductor. If used with ACSR the rated holding strength approximates the full strength of the aluminium strands plus a percentage of the steel core. Holding strength for jacketed conductor depends on its construction.
