A Gripple is a device used to join and tension wire, and also to terminate and suspend wires and wire ropes, and to support false ceilings, cable baskets, and similar items.
They are manufactured in Sheffield, England by Gripple Ltd. The name derives from the fact that the device both "grips" and "pulls" wire.
Wire or wire rope is inserted into a channel in the Gripple, where it is gripped by a spring-loaded roller or wedge, and tensioned by being pulled through.
The channel is mirrored on the opposite side of the Gripple, allowing a second piece of wire to be joined. Some Gripples use miniature Tirfor jacks, and can be tensioned using a small key.
By turning a Gripple through 90 degrees and combining it with wire rope, it produces a suspension system capable of holding up substantial loads, and this has given rise to a range of Gripple suspension systems, which are sold to the construction industry worldwide.
