Determine grip circumference range by measuring circumferenceof bundle of cables to be held.2. Read down to locate correct range.3. Read across for catalog number size code.Example:For four cables together with circumference of 6.35", use gripcontaining catalog number size code “200”.Decimal InchesFractionalInchesMetricDimensions(mm)0.12–0.24 1/8–15/64 3.17–5.950.25–0.36 1/4–23/64 6.35–9.130.37–0.49 3/8–31/64 9.52–12.300.50–0.61 1/2–39/64 12.70–15.480.62–0.74 5/8–47/64 15.88–18.650.75–0.99 3/4–63/64 19.05–25.001.00–1.24 1–1-15/64 25.40–31.351.25–1.49 1-1/4–1-31/64 31.75–37.701.50–1.99 1-1/2–1-63/64 38.10–50.402.00–2.49 2–2-31/64 50.80–63.102.50–2.99 2-1/2–2-63/64 63.50–75.803.00–3.49 3–3-31/64 76.20–88.503.50–3.99 3-1/2–3-63/64 88.90–101.20Table 5Reference Table: AWG or MCMWire SizesThis table is to be used as a guide only.Sizes may vary by manufacturer.228Table 4Reference Table: AWG Wire SizesFor your convenience, the following are representative Portable Cord diameters.AWG WireSize & TypeConductors2 3 4 5➊ ➋ ➊ ➋ ➊ ➋ ➊ ➋18 SO, STO 3.90 .390 .410 .405 .440 .435 .500 .49518 SJO, SJTO .310 .300 .330 .330 .360 .360 – –16 SO, STO .410 .405 .430 .430 .490 .485 .530 .52516 SJO, SJTO .330 .330 .340 .360 .390 .390 – –14 SO, STO .530 .530 .560 .560 .610 .605 .680 .68512 SO, STO .610 .605 .640 .640 .680 .670 .750 .73010 SO, STO .650 .640 .690 .695 .750 .820 .815 –8 SO, STO .810 .810 .910 .910 .990 .990 1.080 1.0806 SO, STO .930 .930 1.010 1.010 1.100 1.100 1.200 1.200AWGDiameterORMCMTTHNTHW14 .105 .16212 .122 .17910 .153 .1998 .201 .2596 .257 .3234 .328 .3723 .356 .4012 .388 .4331 .450 .5081/0 .491 .5492/0 .537 .5953/0 .588 .6474/0 .646 .705250 .716 .788300 .771 .843350 .822 .895400 .869 .942500 .955 1.03600 – 1.12700 – 1.19750 – 1.221000 – 1.38
