The grip attachment of a rod set provides a quick, easy and secure method of attaching cables to your rods.
Step 1 – Attach grip
Screw a cable grip attachment into one end of a rod. Then push the metal sock of the cable grip into one hand, in a concertina action.
Step 2 – Push grip onto cable
Push the cable into the squashed grip as far as you can.
Step 3 – Tighten cable grip
With one hand on the cable and the other hand on the end of the grip, closest to the rod, pull the cable grip tight on the cable. The harder you pull the tighter the grip becomes.
Step 4 – Pull with cable grip
Now you can use the cable grip to pull the cable through the wall cavity.
Step 5 – Continue to pull on cable grip
Keep pulling on the cable grip until the cable is all of the way through the wall cavity.
Step 6 – Release cable grip
Remove the cable grip by pushing it back along the cable, away from you, in a similar action to when you first attached the cable grip, although then it was squashed together and slowly released over the cable, and now you are reversing this action by releasing the tension. The grip will loosen its hold so that you can remove it from the cable.
