STEP 10
Install Lateral Support Cables
Skip this section if the system does not require a
Lateral Cable Support Kit.
NOTE: Refer to the System Configuration chart in
Appendix “A” to determine if Lateral Support
Cables are required.
If the system requires a Lateral Cable Support Kit, the
cable mounts should be installed on the last two
bulkhead assemblies and the Wide Flange
Backstops. Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 of Step
3.
The Lateral Support Cables are ½” [12mm] diameter
and have a ½” [12mm] shackle on one end. There
are eight (8) cable assemblies in the kit. The
shackles pin to the cable mounts on the bulkheads
and Wide Flange Backstops (Figure 31, 32, 33, 34,
35). The two cables from each backstop are routed
to the opposite sides of the last two bulkheads
(Figure 35).
These cables are attached to the cables pined to the
bulkheads with cable clamps. Six cable clamps are
used in series of three. Place the clamps at the
furthest extents of the overlapping cables. The first
cable clamp should be approximately 3” [75mm] from
the cable end. Subsequent clamps should be spaced
at 3” [75mm] (Figure 33).
Cables should be taught with minimal slack, but do
not require tensioning. Routing above or below the
main system cables is acceptable. Bundle access
cable and use provided plastic wrap ties to secure the
bundles to the suspended cables.
