Wedge-Grip Underground
Pipe and Duct Pulling

Pipes & Ducts are Easily Inserted & Quickly Removed

Coupling and uncoupling to pipe and duct can now be done in just a few seconds without tools with our new Wedge-Grip.
 

Wedge Grip

Designed to pull pipe (including vibratory plowing) and boring pull-backs, it's ease of use, broad gripping range and rugged design make it an ideal grip for underground contractors.

Wedge-Grip's sleeve has a different bore size at each end that allows it to grip a broad range of both PVC and PE pipe. It will grip:

• 1" irrigation pipe SDR-11.5 and SDR-15

• 1" PVC pressure pipe SDR-21 and SCH-40

• 1" yellow gas pipe SDR-11

• 1" O.D. controlled innerduct SDR-11, 13.5, 15.5 and 40

• 1" I.D. controlled innerduct SDR-9 and 11.5

The grip's cone-shaped end cover reduces snagging, provides a smooth bore hole and, most importantly, keeps dirt out of the pipe. Additional protection from dirt is provided by a secondary shield - the sleeve's 1/2” thick web.

Gripper® Pipe Plugs

Lewis offers a line of Gripper pipe plugs to be used to seal the end of the pipe being pulled, especially in wet environments. The plugs do not damage the pipe and they ensure that no contaminants enter into the pipe being pulled. After the plug is installed, the Maxi-Grip is fitted over the plug and pipe. See the spec’s in the chart.
