bracket at Post 3.
Install the nut. Tightening of the cable should
be done at the bottom of Post 2 in the following
step.
25. Tighten the cable nut at Post 2. I will be
necessary to use a pipe wrench or large pliers on
the backside of the cable to hold it in place while
tightening. If the cable is not held in place with a
pipe wrench or large pliers, it will spin while you
attempt to tighten the cable and you will not be
able to tighten it.
Apply approximately 60 FT-Lb torque. Continue
to tighten the cable nut until the cable is tight
and the approximate torque is achieved.
When tightening, ensure that the L-Bracket
does not shift, turn and move out of position.
Note: Standard BCT cables used on other systems
may not require a specific torque on the cable nuts.
The X-LITE
®
Flared System requires a tensioned
cable to maintain engagement in the slot on
Post 2.
If a torque wrench is not available, use the
following method to ensure cable is adequately
tensioned:
Tighten cable nut until a Maximum 1/2” cable
deflection is measured at the midpoint when
pressure is applied by hand.
