Our Professional Answer: Proper installation is crucial for preventing cable damage and ensuring a secure pull. First, select the correct grip size for the cable diameter to ensure a snug fit. The sock's wire mesh should be expanded slightly before installation. Slide the sock over the end of the cable, ensuring all the mesh is in full contact with the cable's jacket. We recommend securing the leading edge of the sock with two clamps and then wrapping the entire end with electrical tape. This prevents the grip from snagging on obstacles within the conduit and maintains a smooth profile for the pull. Always check that the grip's rated capacity is not exceeded.
