Product introduction
Distribution grips (also known as distribution grip dead ends) are an important part of the distribution system and their primary function is to terminate bare aluminum conductors. This conductor is laid in a right-side pattern for precise termination without additional cutting or splicing, thus effectively protecting the grid from damage.
FERR’s Distribution Grip Dead-end Connector is a prefabricated termination for primary distribution conductors. It combines high strength and ease of use with safe installation on poles or cross-arms to ensure reliability.
The Distribution-Grip Dead-End is a self-contained device that requires no tools for use. The design eliminates the need for bolts, nuts or washers that can be lost or damaged. However, special attention should be paid to the fact that the unit is not reusable after the original installation, which is recommended for safety reasons.
The device is manufactured from aluminized steel and is capable of withstanding the tremendous mechanical strength present in primary and secondary distribution as well as on substation feeders. However, it is not suitable for use on certain types of conductors such as high temperature or low sag conductors (e.g., ACSS, ACSS/AW, ACSS/TW, and ACCR) and other conductors with loose or annealed outer layers. These types of conductors may cause performance problems when used with this device and are not recommended.

sketch design stage
You only need to provide a sample or basic dimensions — our engineers will handle the rest. We turn your ideas into precise technical drawings based on a deep understanding of your actual needs, ensurin You don’t need to prepare a full 3D model or detailed drawing.
3D modeling and production stage
We build high-precision 3D models based on the initial design, verifying every detail with professional software to meet production standards. Once approved, we move straight into precision manufacturing.
Testimonials
FERR always puts the interests of its customers first.
Yunex
Distribution network project contractors in Southeast Asia
I was most afraid of the drawings sent over to the docking is not clear, the results of FERR engineers directly with me to dock the technical details, and even the bolt hole spacing are confirmed to be very fine. Proofing out once through, no rework, too much trouble.
Orlando J.
Equipment distributors in Europe
Our customers are very picky, especially about the thickness and appearance of the hot-dip galvanized layer, and the goods sent by FERR not only meet the standard, but also the key is that each batch is very stable, and we have never had any problems with the secondary inspection.
Lambrinie
Procurement Manager, X Power Engineering, USA
We started out with just a couple samples to try, and they turned out to be so much better than what we were using before. The dimensional accuracy, surface finish are all spot on and the delivery was fast. Now every time I have a project I go to FERR first, with confidence.
Marco Martinez
Project Manager in the Middle East
I've used quite a few suppliers, some quotes are cheap but with lots of problems.FERR is not the cheapest but they are really the most hassle free. Design coordination, delivery time, packaging details can think ahead of me, I save a lot of energy.
Let’s talk about your next project !
Whether you have detailed drawings or just a concept, we’re ready to listen.
Do you accept small orders?
Absolutely. Our minimum order quantity is 1 piece. You can order a small amount to feel the high quality of our products!
How long is your product warranty?
We offer a 2 years warranty on all our products
What’s your typical lead time?
Lead time depends on part complexity and order volume. For most prototypes or low-volume runs, we offer lead times as fast as 5–7 working days. Rush orders can often be accommodated.
Can I request a sample?
Yes. For Electric Power Fitting, we can provide first article samples upon request. Whether it’s sheet metal, CNC-machined, or assembled parts, we offer sample production to help you evaluate form, fit, and function before moving into full production.
What if the size does not match at the installation site?
We support customized service, in case of size inconsistency, you can contact your account manager at the first time. We will assist in confirming the cause of the problem and provide solutions such as modifying drawings, re-processing or replacing parts to ensure smooth installation of the product and reduce your time and cost loss.
How do you solve the problem of high mold cost and long delivery time?
We provide a variety of low-cost, fast delivery solutions, fusion molding, sand casting, disappearing mold, aluminum mold fast mold, mold sharing mechanism, as well as long-term cooperation mechanism with mold factories, to ensure that the opening of the mold is fast, save money, and do not affect the quality. For trial orders and small batch orders, we also offer flexible development programs to minimize the risk of upfront investment for our customers.
Do you provide type test reports or third-party certifications (e.g., IEC, ANSI)?
Yes. We can provide type test reports and third-party certifications upon request, especially for projects requiring compliance with IEC, IEEE, or national grid standards.
