This product data sheet is originally written in English.


Metal Strain Relief Piece, Threaded Cord Grip - Great For Cloth Covered Wire! 1/8 IPS Male Threads

Brass construction with a nylon set screw to tighten up onto your cord, holding it in place


Works with ANY of our cloth covered cords, except our heavy duty 14 gauge cords.


Choose between (Left to Right, first picture): Antique Brass, Polished Copper, Brass, Satin Nickel, Polished Nickel, Satin Black.



Go the extra mile: use these handy pieces to not only give your fixture a beautiful finished look, but also add a great safety feature to your hanging pendants and other weight-bearing light fixtures. They thread into the base of any standard light socket (or use a nut to fasten them to anything, like a ceiling canopy mount) and when you tighten up the set screw, it will hold your cord firmly in place, taking the weight off of your wire connections inside your socket or ceiling canopy. No more struggling to tie knots or use cumbersome crimps inside your socket! 

  • 1/8 IPS Male Threads (fits all of our sockets, or use a nut to fasten these to any canopy or fixture you want to hang cords from!)
  • Yes these are compatible with all varieties of cord we sell, including all 2-wire and 3-wire options. We also have a different style of metal strain relief that is only compatible with 2-wire cords, or plastic strain reliefs that are compatible with all of our cords, see the Misc. Hardware section of our store.
  • Installation note: thread the base onto the socket or fixture, loosen the set screw completely and slide in your cord. Complete your wire connections as needed, tighten up the set screw and your cord is held in place, nice and snug!
