Which Gripple tensioner should I choose?
QUESTION: I have 2.00 mm and 2.20 mm diameter trellis wires, what size Gripple tensioner should I choose?
ANSWER: In this case, there are two that may be suitable, the Small and Medium. The difference between the two is that the Small supports less load than the Medium. So if you're not sure which size to choose, it's best to go for the larger size (in this case, the Medium).
The Gripple Small is suitable for wires from 1.40mm to 2.20mm in diameter, and supports a maximum load of 300kg.
The Gripple Medium is suitable for wires from 2.00mm to 3.20mm in diameter, and supports a maximum load of 400kg.
The Gripple tensioner-tightener is available in 3 different sizes:
- Gripple Small
- Gripple Medium
- Gripple Large
