INSTALLATION OF ATOMIZATION LINE
15.1
METHODS OF SUSPENDING ATOMIZATION LINES
The two basic methods used to mount and suspend atomization lines are
1. Stainless Steel Aircraft Cable.
2. Hose Mounting Clamps.
The type of structure and the location where the atomization lines will be installed determines the appropriate
method. Often a combination of methods is used.
15.2
USE OF AIRCRAFT CABLE
Aircraft Cable is 7 x 7 stranded 1/16” (0.31mm) stainless steel cable, rated at about 500 lbs. tensile strength. With
this method, the atomization line is attached using cable ties at approximately 12"(304mm) on-center. It is extremely
important that the cable be installed along the top of the atomization line with the cable tie snaps being placed on
the hose, not the cable. See figure 6.
The Aircraft Cable is strung between posts, columns or a fabricated structure that locates the atomization line in the
desired position. The cable is then drawn tight by a ratchet mechanism. This method allows atomization line to span
distances of up to 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 MT) where there is lack of continuous support.
Typical situations where this method would be useful are fixing atomization line to structures of greenhouses, storage
houses, waste load-out facilities, perimeter fencing around sludge ponds or strung between poles to span across
sewage lagoons. The possibilities are numerous.

AIRCRAFT CABLE INSTALLATION TECHNIQUE
Special tools required: Aircraft Cable cutter & 1/16" Sleeve crimping tool.
(Aircraft cable tool kit MicroCool PART# TKT0003)
1. Select the two points from which you require your manifold line or atomization line to span. Points may be
existing structures such as roof beams, columns, etc. or fabricated poles that will allow cable to be wrapped
around.
2. If the points are on a wall or any other flat surface, eyelets will have to be fabricated to fix the ends of the cable.
Remember, to create a drainage gradient for the atomization lines, the points must not be level.
3. Pull one length of Aircraft Cable between the two points. Pull an extra 2 feet (0.61 M) and cut using the cable
cutter.
4. The Aircraft Cable ends are generally fixed by forming a loop and this is held using crimp sleeves. Please refer
to the following drawing.

5. Take one end of the Aircraft Cable and pull it around the point in the above fashion. Use the crimping tool and
firmly crimp each sleeve three times along its length.
