Klein Tools KG5295-L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pole can the Klein KG5295-L positioning strap be used on?
The KG5295-L is sized for poles 7.5 to 17 inches in diameter (17.8 to 43.2 cm). That range comes from the strap's working length: it adjusts from 4 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 8 inches, so on anything smaller than about 7.5 inches you would have too much slack to hold a working position, and on poles over 17 inches it won't buckle around with enough length left to reach both D-rings.
2) How do I know when to retire a Klein-Kord positioning strap?
The KG5295-L has a red wear indicator layer built into the center of the 6-ply Klein-Kord webbing. When red shows through the outer neoprene-coated nylon, the strap has worn past its usable life and gets taken out of service. Inspect for it before every climb, along with the buckle and hook.
3) Which OSHA regulations does the Klein KG5295-L positioning strap address?
It is built to 29 CFR 1910.268, 29 CFR 1910.269, and 29 CFR 1926.954, the telecommunications, electric power generation/transmission/distribution, and construction power-line rules. Those are the sections that govern body belts and positioning straps for utility climbing work.
4) How do I hook up a positioning strap to my belt correctly?
Snap into the positioning D-rings on both sides of the belt or harness, with the keepers facing outward. Never put more than one snap hook on a single D-ring, and make sure the strap is not twisted before you engage the D-ring. A positioning strap holds you in place at the pole, it is not a fall arrest lanyard, so your fall protection still has to be separate.
5) Does the 6-1/2-inch snap hook on the KG5295-L work with heavy lineman's gloves?
That is exactly what the elongated hook is for. It measures 6-1/2 inches (165 mm), long enough to operate the keeper and internal lock mechanism with thick rubber gloves and leather protectors on. The hook carries a 5,000-pound (2268 kg) proof-loaded rating.
6) What is the Klein KG5295-L strap actually made of, and how wide is the webbing?
Klein-Kord, 6-ply and 1-3/4 inches (44 mm) wide, neoprene-coated nylon in brown. The neoprene coat is what gives it the flexibility to handle wet and dirty pole work without going stiff, and the multi-ply build is where the red wear layer sits.
7) Is the KG5295-L one fixed model or do I need to pick a length?
One model, KG5295-L, with the 5.67-foot nominal length and the 6-1/2-inch snap hook. There is no handing, hook, or length option to specify. If you need a different working distance from the pole, that is a different Klein positioning strap part number, not an option on this one.
