CABLE ASSEMBLY
Cable assemblies provide diagonal bracing for the building.
Each cable assembly includes the following items:
• Cable
• Turnbuckle (1)
• Cable thimbles (2)
• Cable clamps (4)
Cable Assembly Procedure
1. Cut the cable to the proper length for each assembly. More than an adequate amount has been sent for the cabling
application. Use diagram on the following page for location of the cable and measure the length needed.
2. Insert one cable thimble through one end of the
turnbuckle as shown in the first figure to the right.
3. Place the cable thimble approximately twelve inches
(12") from the end of a cable section and wrap the
cable around the thimble as shown in the second figure
to the right.
4. Grasp both sections of the cable near the thimble
and position one cable clamp one inch away from the
thimble as shown above.
NOTE:
The clamp must be positioned on the cable with
its U-bolt portion over the short section of the cable as
shown in the diagram above.
5. With the saddle portion of the cable clamp in position,
thread the nuts onto the U-bolt section of the clamp
and tighten slightly to maintain the position of the clamp
on the cable.
6. Install a second cable clamp on the cable six to eight
(6"-8") inches from the first clamp.
7. Tighten both clamps.
8. Open the turnbuckle to its longest position.
9. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining cable
assembly.
