Prodigy FlyPipe Installation Guide

Hang Helix from Upper Attachment Points

To begin installing helix cable management, run it up to your attachment points and secure it
with the nylon webbing.

Mark on webbing rests approximately 
at the top of the loop

Buckle

Topmost rib

Buckle Threading Diagram

1. Thread the buckles onto the

nylon webbing straps that
extend beyond the topmost rib.
This step is represented by the
black dashed line in the buckle
diagram.

2. Run the cable assembly up to

the attachment points, with
the topmost rib furthest from
the floor.

3. Loop one of the nylon webbing

straps around an attachment
point (i.e. the strut channel to
which the TwinLine clamp will
be installed).

4. Terminate the end of the loop

in the buckle. This step is
represented by the gray
dashed line in the buckle
diagram.

5. Repeat steps three and four for

the second nylon webbing
strap.

Note:

There is a mark on the nylon webbing that is 457 mm (18 in) above the

topmost rib. This mark should be approximately at the point where the webbing loops
over the attachment point.

When threading the webbing through the buckle at the top of the cable management
system, it is recommended to have the weight of the cables and ribs supported from
below. This provides an amount of slack in the nylon webbing that makes it easier to
thread the buckle.

If the strut channel is installed without clearance above it (i.e. attached directly to the
upper steel), create a looping point for the nylon webbing. For example, attach a
forged eye bolt to the underside of the strut channel using a strut nut and square
washer.

6. Cut and remove the white cable ties that hold the spooled ends of the cable assembly

together and run the length of the cable assembly back down to the hoist.

7. Once you have installed the TwinLine clamp, you must thread the TwinLine pair of wire

ropes through the center grommet of each rib, beginning from the topmost rib and moving
downward.
