About Griplock® Signage Systems

GRIPLOCK® SIGNAGE SYSTEMS Griplock has supplied cable-based sign and banner hanging hardware and systems to the signage industry for 15 years, but until now we have never put all our accumulated knowledge and experience inside one cover.

The following pages show the many options available from Griplock® for suspending anything from light weight foam core to wood, wood composites, plastics, metal and beyond. We’ve broken it down into 6 sections. Please read all of them to understand the productthoroughly and to make ordering easier. Refer to page 21-22 for terminology, weight charts, how to order, etc.

SIGNAGE WEIGHTS AND MATERIALS

We’ve divided this catalog into 3 types of signage based on their weight - Light, Medium and Heavy. Of course, the weight of the signdepends on the size of the sign. You will have to be the judge of that.

THE GRIPLOCK® GRIPPER - WHERE IT STOPS, IT LOCKS®

The Griplock® gripper is a fully adjustable cable suspension device for use with 7x7 and 7x19 aircraft cable only. It automatically locksanywhere on the cable and can be moved up or down at the touch of a finger. Three ball bearings sit in three of the six grooves on thecircumference of the cable so the pressure on the cable is evenly distributed. As a result, the gripper holds about 50% of the published break strength of the cable. Based upon that 50%, Griplock recommends a 5:1 safe working load (SWL). See pages 21 - 22.

• Insert the cable through the plunger into the gripper mechanism. Slide the gripper to the desired position.• To move the gripper down the cable, depress the plunger with your fingertip and move the gripper to a new position. Release the plunger to lock.• The 3- or 6-ball gripping mechanism is spring-loaded and allows the gripper to move freely UP the cable. The gripper cannot move DOWN the cable unless the plunger is depressed.

IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME you’ve worked with Griplock® Signage Systems, please read the following information carefully:• Use only 7x7 or 7x19 uncoated galvanized or stainless steel aircraft cable. • When feeding cable through a gripper always allow cable to pass 1” beyond the gripper housing. When cutting excess cable always leave 1” of cable showing. • Cable should be cut using purpose-built cutters, as shown opposite.• Cable will generally not fray when cut. In case of fraying apply a drop of super-glue or otherwise re-seal.• Adhere strictly to the weight load guidelines for gripper / cable combinations shown on page 22.• The Griplock® Signage System is not recommended for permanent outdoor use. It should not be exposed to wind or water or allowed to oscillate continuously. Avoid placing signage in chemical laden environments such as indoor swimming pools and some manufacturing environments. Do not place signage close to HVAC vents where they may be exposed to air currents.• Cables should not enter or exit couplers and grippers at more than a 5 degree angle. For angled applications use the jointed or swivel couplers and grippers shown on page 17.

GRIPLOCK® CABLE

Griplock cables are made of galvanized or stainless steel. These cables are factory fitted with terminals and loops. Unlessspecified, Griplock terminals are guaranteed to the full published break strength of the cable, however when used in conjunction withgrippers, cables have a break-strength that is less than that of the cable alone. Please refer to the Weight Load Guidelines on page 22 . In all cases Griplock recommends a STATIC safe working load (SWL) of no more than 1/5 of the minimum break strength of the gripper / cable combination.

Griplock recently introduced the thinnest cable in its line-up, a 1/32” cabling system known as Wisp™.

Thin and small, yet incredibly strong, combination of cables and grippers come together in perfect harmony for theultimate system of strength and ease-of-use.

Wisp™ is perfect for the new lightweight LED fixtures now coming to market and any other lightweight artwork, sign or display system. It is dependable, without upstaging what’s truly important - your product.

Griplock Grippers: grippers are designed to work with cables as thin as 1/32” and as thick as 1/4". In this catalog we show four gripper types and four compatible cable sizes that are best suited for most sign-hanging applications. Grippers are mostly of nickel-plated brass. SAT in the p/n indicates a satin chrome finish.

Gripper types: Type 10: works with 1/32” or 1mm cable. Eg. 10Z-832iType 12: works with 1/32” to 3/64” cable. Eg. ZF-12X2Type 15: works with 3/64” to 1/16” cable. Eg. ZF-15ZZ, 15Z-GAType 25: works with 1/16” to 3/32 cable. Eg. DG-25-TC-300-SAT

Cable Couplers:The cable couplers in this catalog accept the cables and terminals shown.Exceptions: The loop ending (44) doesn’t require a coupler.Couplers with 1420 in the p/n have an internal 1/4-20 thread that be used to attach them to studs or bolts.

Cables: To determine the cable you need for your application consider the weight of the sign. A sign that weighs 20 lbs and is supported by two cables creates a 10 lbs load on each cable. A 20 lbs sign supported by a single cable creates a 20 lb load. Consult the chart below to determine whether your sign is Light weight, Medium weight or Heavy weight; then consult the weight load chart on page 22. Give serious consideration to the type of ceiling you are suspending from: Structural, drywall or T-bar. For information about drywall and T-bar ceilings see pages 13 and 22.

Pendant Connections to T-barT-bar is vertically supported to structure by 12 gauge wires, and in seismic areas by additional bracing wires at 45 degrees from the T-bar to structure. The closer your signage is to these supporting wires the stronger the connection will be. There is no official information available about signage and other non-lighting pendant loads suspended from T-bar, but walk into almost any store with this type of ceiling andinevitably there will signage suspended from the T-bar and often from the Tile itself. Griplock does not recommend the latter method. If a single T-bar-supported sign weighing no more than 5 lbs and suspended at two points between the intersections of either the main or cross runners of a T-bar ceiling, Griplock recommends that no further support is necessary. For signage weighing in excess of 5 lbs Griplockrecommends a secondary support to structure as shown on page 19 from each supporting cable by means of a wraparound T-bar clip and wire or cable braces to the structural ceiling.

Pendant Connections to DrywallDrywall comes in thicknesses ranging from 3/8” to 5/8” and is hung from joists that may be 24” or 16” apart. The drywall may be attached to the joists using drywall nails or drywall screws set at variable distances apart. The drywall itself may be old or damp and crumbly. All these things affect the ability of a drywall ceiling to suspend a weight safely. Unless your signage weighs less than 5 lbs per supporting cable Griplock recommends the advice of a qualified engineer or installer.

QUALITY & SAFETY

Suspending signage safely is Griplock’s highest priority. Improper installation and/or the wrong choice of components can cause accidents.Griplock’s reputation is built on safety, quality, customer service and over 20 years of experience. We stand squarely behind our products. Griplock’s quality control system is modeled after ISO 9001. Prior to assembly, all individual Griplock Gripper components are tested randomly to meetGriplock’s high quality control standards. For detailed line drawings please visit our website or contact us.
