Southwire SPH400-18 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Southwire SPH400-18 SIMpull head fit?
The SPH400-18 is sized for 400 kcmil conductor. SIMpull pulling heads run across sizes 1 AWG through 1000 kcmil, so if you are pulling 350 or 500, you need the head built for that size, not this one. The head is matched to the conductor, so order one per cable size in the raceway.
2) Will the SIMpull head clear a tight conduit bend or a crowded raceway?
Profile is the whole point of this device. The SPH400-18 measures 12.6 extension, 3.9 width and 1.6 height in inches, and Southwire calls it the lowest profile head available. The staggered lengths across a set of heads also keep multiple conductors from bunching into one fat bundle at the nose of the pull, which is what normally hangs you up in an elbow.
3) How many SIMpull pulling heads come in a pack of the SPH400-18?
They ship five to an inner pack in cardboard packaging. For a three-phase plus neutral pull you would use four of the five, which is why electricians typically order by the pack rather than the piece.
4) Why are SIMpull heads made in staggered lengths?
Staggering means each head in the set presents its eye at a different point along the pull, so the conductors enter the conduit one behind another instead of side by side. That narrows the leading face of the bundle and reduces the jamming you get pulling several large conductors through a bend at once.
5) Does the SPH400-18 replace taping and basket-gripping the conductors by hand?
That is what it is for. The head attaches to the 400 kcmil conductor and gives you a ready pulling eye, which removes the step of stripping, bending and taping a homemade head on site. Southwire lists time savings as the primary benefit.
6) What is the SIMpull pulling head made of, and is it meant for commercial work?
Steel body, silver in color, and Southwire classes it as a commercial product rather than residential. Each head weighs 0.834 pounds, so a set of four adds very little to what the rope and winch are already seeing.
7) Will a 400 kcmil SIMpull head fit in standard shipping or a job box?
The package runs 23.6 inches long with a master pack height of 5 inches, so a full five-pack travels as one flat carton rather than a bulky crate.
