GMP 5/8" 600lb Break-Away Swivel 71408

Break-away Swivels give you invaluable protection when pulling either fiber optic or coaxial cable

• These simple tools provide an inexpensive fracture point between the pulling line and cable avoiding costly cable damage if the cable’s rated pulling capacity is exceeded

• The breakaway swivels are 5/8 in. (15.88mm) made from steel

• The 5/8 in. size is extremely convenient when working with innerduct sizes below 1 5/8 in. in diameter

• The design of the breakaway swivels incorporates a replaceable tension bolt that joins the barrel eye and swivel body. The bolt separates when pulling loads on the cable reach +/-5%. The damaged bolt can then be replaced in seconds using an Allen Breakaway BoltWrench (included) and screwdriver.

• The swivel and bolt head are color-coded for fast load identification

  GMP uses a steel thrust washer and bushing in the larger break-away swivel and four (4) ball bearings in the smaller version. Both designs provide smooth rotation under load and help to keep twisting forces from reaching the cable.
