The chart below details the range of breaking strengths available as standard. Simply
plait the tails in pairs around the cable and attach at the reinforced eye. Octopus Grips
are extremely versatile, flexible, reusable and non-metallic.
No specialised tools are required to fit Scorpion 'Octopus' Grips.
Please specify umbilical or rope diameter when ordering for the appropriate tail length to
be supplied *.
This is especially important in the case of large diameter umbilicals where tail lengths
will be longer than those specified above. All Octopus Grips are supplied complete with
either a removable galvanised steel thimble or double reinforced soft eye unless specified
otherwise.
