When purchasing a synthetic rope longline, it is recommended that the customer also purchase a protective
cover and have the conduit inserted at the time of manufacture. However, if this is not feasible due to
different conduits for different applications, it is recommended to tape the conduit using duct tape (grey) at
3-4 ft intervals along the longline and cover.
It is not recommended to use zip ties to attach wiring/conduit as this tends to damage the cover and longline.
When attaching conduit, allowances must be made for any stretch in the load bearing line and this must be
taken into account when attaching to ensure that the terminations are not released from the belly, bucket or
hook, etc.
It is also imperative to take extreme care when removing the conduit from the longline, especially if a knife
is used to remove the tape as one could inadvertently cut through the cover and the damage the synthetic
rope. It is important to remember that when conduit is duct taped to the outside of a longline, the flight
characteristics can change. In our experience, it may take some time and a few trial flights to determine
the length between attachment points of the conduit to the longline.
