Kupo KCP-280B Double Gag Grip Head-Black

Kupo KCP-280B Double Gag Grip Head 2-1/2" – Dual Grip Heads on a 10 mm Rod

The Kupo KCP-280B is a double gag grip head designed for secure grip and robust construction. It pairs two sets of griphead discs on a steel plate and includes a dia. 10 mm rod with a 135 mm / 5.3" length. The unit ships in black and weighs 970g.

Design and construction

The KCP-280B combines durable materials and practical design choices. Two sets of griphead discs mount on a steel plate to provide the dual gripping action. In addition, the product incorporates an aluminum casting body and a stainless steel central bolt to reinforce long-term durability.

Key features

1. 16 mm mounting hole for a 5/8” (Baby) stud or stand top. This feature allows the grip head to mount directly to a standard 5/8" stud or the top of a stand.

2. Non-slip, non-stick aluminum braking pad. The braking pad offers secure locking and precise control, and it avoids the deterioration associated with fiber braking pads.

3. Large size T-handle. The ergonomic T-handle delivers the biggest torque for tightening and adjustment, giving the operator easier control over the grip.

4. Four V jaws for different diameters (5/8”, 1/2”, 3/8”, 1/4”). These jaw options make the grip head compatible with a variety of pins and tubes of the listed diameters.

5. Special tooth design on V jaws. The tooth profile on the V jaws provides a better grip on the supported pins and tubes.

6. Steel located pin. The steel material used for the located pin makes it sturdier than an aluminum casting pin.

7. Stainless steel central bolt. A stainless steel central bolt contributes to the most durable construction.

8. Dedicated bearing. A bearing is added to reinforce torque and produce a stronger grip when tightening.

Practical use

Use the KCP-280B when you need a reliable dual grip solution that accepts standard studs and multiple pin diameters. Its combination of aluminum casting body, steel plate mounting and stainless steel fasteners aims to give stable, long-lasting performance during rigging and support tasks.
