Ripley UtilityTool WS 5 925 Bushing 10310-925 - 0.886"-0.910" Cable OD

The Ripley Tools 10310-925 is a precision-machined replacement bushing for the WS 5 Series family of cable end strippers, sized to fit cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.886in to 0.910in over insulation or semi-con. Bushings are the heart of the WS 5 stripping system: each bushing insert fits over the cable and presets the cutting blade depth, allowing the tool to strip XLPE, polyethylene, and EPR insulation cleanly without nicking or damaging the underlying conductor.

This bushing is fully compatible with both the standard WS 5 and the adjustable WS 5A (and WS 5A-DA) cable end strippers, which are rated for 600V-35kV primary distribution URD cable with insulation thicknesses up to 400 mils. Because cable diameters vary widely by manufacturer and insulation type, Ripley offers this bushing in closely incremented sizes so technicians can dial in an exact fit for the cable on hand rather than relying on a single oversized bushing that risks inconsistent stripping results.

The 10310-925 bushing is designed for linemen, cable splicers, and utility maintenance crews who perform primary underground residential distribution (URD) cable terminations and splices in the field. Swapping bushings is fast, letting crews quickly reconfigure a single WS 5 or WS 5A stripper for multiple cable sizes encountered on the same job, reducing the number of dedicated tools that must be carried on a truck.
