MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS

Load – Do not exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) of the

Gripple. The SWL of the Gripple product included with this
loudspeaker is 45 kg (100 lbs).

No lifting – Do not use for lifting, such as in a crane or pulley
situation.

No movement

– Gripple hangers are to be used to suspend
static loads only. Do not use to suspend moving services, or
services likely to be subject to movement.

No joining – Gripple hangers must not be spliced together
using a Gripple fastener, or any other joining device. A Gripple
hanger assembly must comprise one length of cable and one
Gripple fastener only. If a longer length is needed, do not
attempt to join two assemblies together.

Limitations of use – All Gripple hangers, accessories, and
other Gripple products must only be used for suspending items
recommended by the manufacturer.

Painting – If painting, ensure that a Gripple Décor Cover is
applied to the Gripple fastener before painting to protect from
the ingress of paint. Do not move the Gripple fastener on the
cable after painting.

Building codes

– Compliance with local codes, and where
applicable national codes, is the buyer and/or installers
responsibility.

Not for re-use – Gripple hangers are designed for permanent
installations, not for re-use.

Lubricants – Do not apply oil or any other lubricant to any part
of the assembly.

Not for seismic bracing – For Gripple products that have been
tested and approved for seismic restraint applications, please
refer to the Gripple Seismic product line.

Round duct/pipes – When wrapping around duct or other round
pipes, do not exceed an angle of 60 degrees between the top of
the pipe and the Gripple.

Environment – Standard Gripple hangers may be used only in
dry locations. Stainless steel Gripple hangers may be used in
certain indoor corrosive environments such as properly
ventilated swimming pool arenas.

Failure to observe these usage instructions may result in
product malfunction, resulting in property damage and bodily
injury. At time of shipment Gripple products are warranted to
conform to the manufacturer's published specifications and to
be free from defects in material and workmanship. No other
warranty, whether expressed or implied, including any
warranty of merchantability or fitness for purpose, whether
expressed or implied, shall exist in connection with the sale or
