Thomas & Betts WMG-PC8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable diameter does the Thomas & Betts WMG-PC8 wire mesh grip fit?
The WMG-PC8 is built for cable in the .375 to .500 inch diameter range, in the 3/4 inch trade size. Measure the actual outside diameter of your cable jacket, not the conductor size, before you commit. Cable outside that .375 to .500 window will either slip through the weave or refuse to seat, and a mesh grip only develops its holding force when the basket closes down on a jacket within its rated range.
2) Will the WMG-PC8 grip work on 1/2 inch outside diameter cable?
Yes, .500 inch is the top of its range, and .375 inch the bottom. At the very edge of a range you get less mesh engagement, so if your cable measures a hair over .500 inch with the jacket, step up to the next size grip rather than forcing this one.
3) Is the WMG-PC8 wire mesh grip suitable for a wet, washdown, or corrosive location?
It is made of stainless steel, which is the material you want for outdoor runs, washdown areas, coastal installs, water treatment, and food processing where a plated or galvanized mesh would rust out. Stainless also holds up where cleaning chemicals are part of the routine.
4) What does a wire mesh cable grip like the WMG-PC8 actually do on a job?
It's a woven metal basket that slips over the cable and tightens its grip as tension is applied, so the cable's own weight or pull is carried by the grip instead of by the terminations. Electricians use them to support vertical cable drops, to take strain at an enclosure or box entry, and as a pulling grip when running cable. The WMG-PC8 covers 3/4 inch, .375 to .500 inch cable.
5) I need to order wire mesh grips for several cable sizes. What do I specify?
Wire mesh grips are ordered by cable outside diameter range, not by conductor gauge or conduit size alone. The WMG-PC8 is the 3/4 inch stainless unit covering .375 to .500 inch cable. For a mixed run, walk the job and record each jacket OD, then match a grip whose range brackets it. One grip part number will not cover a spread of cable sizes.
