Figure 4-23. Installing Wire Rope Clamps
(f)
Secure wire rope with two clamps.
(g)
Unscrew turnbuckle so that it is nearly fully extended This will allow for turnbuckle adjustment to take
up wire rope sag.
NOTE
If the crossing is very wide, initial tension on the cable can be created by the hand
hoist provided in the suspension kit. After initial tension is achieved, connect the
cable with the turnbuckles in the nearly fully extended condition in accordance
with step (e). This will enable maximum adjustment of the turnbuckles for
reducing the sag in the cable after the hoseline is filled with water.
(h)
Attach turnbuckle to wire rope at one end and engage slake with turnbuckle hook at the other end
(figure 4-23).
(i)
Attach opposite end of wire rope exactly as in steps (e) through (h).
(j)
Use turnbuckles to adjust sag in wire rope with no load to within limits.
(k)
Place shackle on wire rope, lift hose end, wrap saddle around hose, and attach to shackle. Tie
manila rope to leading end of hoseline.
