Rigguy Wire Stops

The Rigguy Wire Stop makes your cable installations less bulky, expensive, and intrusive. The internal taper of Rigguy's wire stop fits over the middle strand of 7-strand EHS cable, with the six remaining strands surrounding it. The more pressure that is applied, the deeper into the block the strand and taper are pulled. It makes a more finished, less cluttered, installation because of its small size and simplicity.

Compare the 2 pieces of equipment needed to complete an end using the Wire Stop to the 5 parts needed for and using traditional tree cabling tools. You can easily carry all enough Wire Stops to complete a job in a small bag on your saddle.

Rigguy Wire Stop for 5/16 & 3/8 cable

Rigguy Wire Stop for 5/16” - 3/8” EHS Cable

rig346

(Conforms to ANSI A300 standards)

The internal taper of Rigguy's wire stop fits over the middle strand of 7-strand EHS cable with the six remaining strands surrounding it. The more pressure that is applied, the deeper into the block the strand and taper are pulled. The block is made of 6061 AL and taper is made of 416 SS for strength of application and corrosion resistance. Although the wire stop is only 1 1/4 inches long, it holds close to 100 percent of the breaking strength of the strand itself, which is more than 15,000 pounds (if using 3/8-inch EHS strand). The wire stop eliminates the need for the J, lag, eye, hooks, thimbles, through bolts, pre-formed wraps, wire clips, or other terminal hardware. It can be used in more applications because it is secured on the outside of the limb or trunk. It makes a more finished, less cluttered, installation because of its small size and simplicity.

Rigguy Wire Stop Hub

Rigguy Wire Stop Hub

rig348

(Conforms to ANSI A300 Standards) For all wire sizes. (1/4” to 3/8”)

The wire stop hub is the middle of a hub and spoke system for joining three trunks or leaders together. It's less damaging than triangulation because it only requires three holes instead of six. Also it requires less than half the parts (13) required in a traditional system installation (31).

Requires tapers from the Wire Stop.
