Which device allows cable to twist, eliminating winding and tangling of the rope and cable during the pull?

• A. Swivel Clevis
• B. Clevis
• C. Conduit brush
• D. Reel Brakes

Answer: (A)

When you’re pulling a cable, the line can start to twist and tangle as it runs out or changes direction. The device that prevents that by allowing the connection to rotate freely is the swivel clevis. It combines a clevis with a swiveling joint, so the rope or cable can rotate independent of the pulling hardware, keeping the line from winding around itself and reducing wear and snags. A regular clevis is fixed and can’t rotate, so any twist in the line would transfer into the connection and cause tangling. A conduit brush is for cleaning conduits, not for pulling, and reel brakes control payout speed but don’t stop the line from twisting.
