Ok this may be irrelevant but I had a old Triesto tower that was damaged and I replaced it with a TX-455. The Triesto had 2 bolts in each leg, and when I tilted it over I pivoted on the bottom bolts

Thanks Bob, at least I'm not alone. I did use a spud type tool to align the holes and will try the middle holes to pivot on next time just to see if it will be easier to align the top and bottom.. ca

Just went through the same with a new UST HDX589, 4 bolts per leg and wasn't sure I could get even 1 bolt into the rear leg after raising, pivoting on the bottom bolts in the front. However, with som

Answering one of my own questions: I called UST and got through to Remi/Remy ?? the engineer. He said "the flange bolts should be tightened as much as the average person can tighten them with an aver

According to Building and Safety, the bolts need to be torque to 350 lbs. A registered Deputy inspector must be present and issue a certificate of compliance. If you are not getting a permit it's a m

Grant, I don't remember what type of bolts where on my tower but they did not "look" to as heavy duty as the old bolts I had. I was worried about breaking them off. I know I'm no were close to the 35

This can't be right: "I probed a bit and he said that the design depends only on the shear strength of the bolts, not the clamp friction. So, as long as the bolts don't fall out they should withstand

Only the first of the quoted sentences are attributable to UST, the second is my conclusion. I have to agree that friction in the joint is good, but wonder if tensioning to the rated torque (1000+ ft

On my HDX-5106, there are 5 holes per leg. I don't know if the base/tower was made incorrectly or got bent by previous owners, but what I do is use an "aluminum racing jack" to get the holes aligned

I use two alignment pins to line my bolt holes on my LM-470, by using two, I did not have to tighten first, both ways work just fine but I had two alignment tools so I used them. By the way the align

I think the best way to answer this whole issue is go to www.portlandbolt.com and do your reading from experts' who make a living selling Bolts & Nuts to the commercial market. As for US Tower weasel
