2 Gripple Seismic Bracing Systems Introduction Gripple Seismic Restraint Systems are specifically designed and engineered to brace and secure nonstructural equipment and components within a building or structure to minimize earthquake damage to suspended components. Bracing Methods Transverse Bracing Gripple Seismic Restraint Systems are ideal for use on nonstructural components and equipment requiring seismic design, such as in essential facilities that are required for emergency operations in the aftermath of an earthquake. Advantages Complete pre-engineered systems No field swaging of cables Up to 10 times faster to install No tools required Color coding allows easy field verification New or retrofit installations UL NEBS GR 63 Core Certification Longitudinal Bracing 4-Way Bracing R

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LOAD OF THE PRODUCT. During installation take slack out of assembly by hand pulling the tail end of the cable. COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL CODES and, where applicable, NATIONAL CODES are the buyer s and / or installer s responsibility. INTEGRITY OF THE BUILDING STRUCTURE to which Gripple Seismic Bracing Systems are attached is the responsibility of the installer and / or specifying engineer. DO NOT APPLY LUBRICANT to any part of the assembly. DO NOT USE FOR HOISTING such as in a crane or pulley situation. DO NOT JOIN TWO CABLE ASSEMBLIES TOGETHER i.e. using the Gripple fasteners as a splice. Gripple Seismic Installation Manual should be consulted when designing or installing seismic bracing systems using Gripple Seismic kits.
