Southwire SPH8-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Southwire SPH8-12 SIMpull pulling head fit?
The SPH8-12 is sized for 8 AWG conductor. Southwire builds the SIMpull head line in 8 AWG through 2 AWG, so for larger conductors you step up to the matching head rather than forcing this one onto a heavier wire. One head per conductor.
2) Why do SIMpull heads come in staggered lengths, and what does the 12 inch mean on the SPH8-12?
The 12 in SPH8-12 is the head length, and it matters when you are pulling several conductors at once. Southwire makes the heads in staggered lengths so the attachment points sit at different points along the pull instead of bunching into one fat bundle at the mouth of the conduit. The assembled head measures 12.6 inches long by 3.9 inches wide and 1.6 inches high, which is the low profile that lets it round bends and clear couplings.
3) Will the SPH8-12 SIMpull head fit through the conduit I am pulling 8 AWG into?
Check the head profile against your raceway: it measures 12.6 inches long, 3.9 inches wide and 1.6 inches high. That 1.6 inch height is the controlling dimension through bends and bodies, and it is why Southwire calls it the lowest profile head available. Mind the 12.6 inch length at sweeps and LB fittings on smaller trade sizes.
4) How many SIMpull heads come in a pack of the SPH8-12?
The inner pack holds 5 heads, shipped in cardboard. Since you need one head per conductor, a single inner pack covers a typical three phase plus neutral and ground pull with one left over.
5) Do I need a separate basket grip or tape-up if I use a SIMpull head on 8 AWG?
No. The SPH8-12 is the pulling attachment itself, so it replaces the usual routine of stripping, bending a loop and taping the conductors to a basket grip. You attach the head to the 8 AWG conductor and hook your rope or swivel to it, which is where the time saving comes from. No batteries or power source involved.
6) Is the Southwire SPH8-12 CSA certified for Canadian jobs?
The SPH8-12 pulling head does not carry CSA certification. If your inspector requires CSA marked pulling accessories on the job, this is not the one to spec.
7) Is the SPH8-12 pulling head steel, and will it hold up to repeated conduit pulls?
Body is steel, silver finish, and it weighs 0.281 lb per head, so it adds almost nothing to the pull. Southwire classes the SPH8-12 as a commercial duty item rather than a homeowner accessory.
