Leviton L7997 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Leviton L7997/L7998 bus drop support grip and the Pass & Seymour Flexcor FC0 Series support grip?
Both are cable support grips, but they are built around different retention designs. The Leviton L7997 and L7998 are bus drop safety spring support grips with a spring eye type and a zinc plated finish, offered in 40 lb max load (L7997) and 80 lb max load (L7998) ratings. The Pass & Seymour Flexcor FC0 Series is a standard duty closed mesh single-eye support grip, so the cable is gripped by a closed woven mesh body terminating in a single fixed eye rather than a spring. Choose the spring-eye Leviton grip where you want the spring to absorb movement on a suspended bus drop run, and the closed mesh single-eye Flexcor where a plain fixed eye termination suits the support point.
2) What is a bus drop safety spring support grip actually used for on a busway install?
It takes the weight of a bus drop cable hanging off a busway plug or riser so the conductors and terminations are not carrying the load. The woven grip tightens on the cable jacket under tension and the spring eye absorbs shock and vibration instead of transmitting it into the connection point. Typical use is vertical riser runs, busway feeder drops, and general cable suspension in commercial and industrial electrical work.
3) Is the Leviton bus drop support grip approved for use in Canada?
The Leviton bus drop safety spring support grip carries CSA certification, which is the listing Canadian electrical inspectors look for.
4) Why choose a spring eye grip instead of a plain single-eye support grip?
The spring eye gives the drop some travel. Where the cable gets tugged, swings, or the building vibrates, that spring keeps the shock off the terminations. A rigid single-eye grip, like the Pass and Seymour Flexcor FC0 Series standard duty closed mesh single-eye grip, is the simpler option for a static hang where nothing is moving.
5) Can I use this grip on a cable run that is already terminated at both ends?
No. This is a closed mesh bus drop grip, so it has to slide onto a free cable end before termination. If the run is already made up on both ends, you need a split lace or open mesh grip that wraps around the cable in place.
6) Will a zinc plated support grip hold up in a damp or dusty industrial plant?
Zinc plating is the corrosion protection on this grip, which suits indoor commercial and industrial environments, dusty plant areas, and mechanical rooms. For continuously wet, washdown, or chemically aggressive areas, a stainless mesh grip is the normal call instead of a plated one.
7) Where are Leviton bus drop support grips made?
Country of origin on the Leviton bus drop safety spring support grip is Mexico, which is worth noting if your project carries domestic sourcing requirements.
