Thomas & Betts WMG-LT3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Thomas & Betts WMG-LT wire mesh grip come in?
The WMG-LT series wire mesh grip assemblies run in eight sizes: 3/4 inch (WMG-LT3), 1 inch (WMG-LT4), 1-1/4 inch (WMG-LT5), 1-1/2 inch (WMG-LT6), 2 inch (WMG-LT7), 2-1/2 inch (WMG-LT8), 3 inch (WMG-LT9) and 4 inch (WMG-LT10). Size your grip to the outside diameter of the cable bundle or conduit you are gripping, not to the raceway it enters.
2) Which WMG-LT part number do I order for 1-1/4 inch?
WMG-LT5 is the 1-1/4 inch wire mesh grip assembly. The trailing digit in the WMG-LT series does not equal the inch size, so order by the part number and not by the number in it: LT3 is 3/4 inch, LT5 is 1-1/4 inch, LT10 is 4 inch.
3) What material are the Thomas & Betts WMG-LT mesh grips made from?
Stainless steel mesh. That matters for anyone pulling or supporting cable in damp, washdown, coastal, or corrosive industrial areas where a plated steel grip would rust out at the weave. For an MRO buyer standardizing across a plant, it is one grip family for both indoor and wet locations.
4) Is a wire mesh grip the right thing for supporting vertical cable runs, or do I need a cable clamp?
A mesh grip is the right choice when you want the load spread over a length of the cable jacket rather than pinched at one point. The woven stainless basket tightens as it takes tension, so it holds a vertical drop or a pull without crushing the conductors the way a single clamp or a set screw connector can. Use a clamp-type connector where you only need strain relief at a box entry and the cable is not carrying its own weight.
5) Can I use one size of mesh grip for a range of cable diameters?
Each WMG-LT is built for its stated size, and sizing across the eight offered (3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3 and 4 inch) is how you get the weave to bite correctly. Going oversize leaves the basket loose and it will not tighten evenly under load; going undersize means it will not pass over the cable. Measure the actual bundle OD before you pick a part number.
6) Does the WMG-LT wire mesh grip come assembled or do I have to build it up?
It ships as a pre-assembled grip assembly, so there is no weave or loop to make up in the field. Pick the size that matches your cable OD, slip it on, and terminate it.
