{"product_id":"the-cable-sock-galvanized-wire-pulling-grip","title":"The Cable Sock | Galvanized Wire Pulling Grip, Six Sizes 4 to 25 mm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003ePulling cable through conduit is a two-part problem. The first part is force, and the second is damage. A grip that holds too loosely slips and scores the insulation. A grip that bites too hard crushes the conductor. The wire mesh pulling sock exists because it solves both at once, and it has not been meaningfully improved in fifty years because the principle is already correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eThe Cable Sock is a galvanised single-wave mesh that tightens under load. Feed the cable into the open end, pull the eye, and the mesh contracts around the jacket in proportion to the tension applied. The harder the pull, the firmer the grip, and the load spreads across the full mesh length instead of concentrating at one bite point. That is how a 470 mm sock handles a 20 to 25 mm cable without deforming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eSix sizes cover the working range: 220 mm for 4 to 6 mm cable, 260 mm for 6 to 10 mm, 300 mm for 10 to 12 mm, 370 mm for 12 to 15 mm, 390 mm for 15 to 20 mm and 470 mm for 20 to 25 mm. Colour coding is applied by size, so a technician reaching into a toolbox in a riser cupboard can identify the right sock without reading a label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eThe galvanised finish is the detail that decides service life. Bare steel mesh rusts at the eye after a few damp pulls and then fails exactly when the load is highest. Galvanising costs little at manufacture and buys years of use in ducts, trenches and outdoor runs, which is why electricians and telecom technicians both keep a set in the van.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:22px 0 0;line-height:1.8;font-style:italic;color:#555;\"\u003eThe tool that never gets photographed is usually the one that gets the cable through the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin:26px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\" style=\"margin-top:28px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:19px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Single-wave galvanised mesh tightens grip proportionally to pull load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Six size-coded socks covering 4 mm to 25 mm cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Load spreads across the full mesh length, not one bite point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Protects cable insulation from scoring and crushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Galvanised finish resists rust at the eye and in damp ducts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Colour-coded by size for fast identification on site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e✦ Suits electrical, telecom and conduit installation work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top:28px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:19px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanised steel mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 \/ 260 \/ 300 \/ 370 \/ 390 \/ 470 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6, 6-10, 10-12, 12-15, 15-20, 20-25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-wave variable mesh, self-tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour coding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue, black, red, green, white, yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x cable pulling grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conduit, duct and trench pulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot-dip galvanised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\" style=\"margin-top:28px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:19px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eWhere It Belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eElectricians pulling armoured cable through a riser use the 470 mm sock on the heavy end and a 220 mm sock on control wiring in the same run.
