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.  

15.3 

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.

2.  AIRCRAFT CABLE LOOPED AROUND POST

STRAINING POST

 

 

 

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.
