Hi all, Well, last weekend we got the tower up and I spent most of Saturday afternoon tensioning the guys and making sure the tower was plum. Tonight I climbed it again to do some more antenna/cable
That bracket sounds like a standard Rohn bracket. When installed (properly), it should nestle in the Z-braces and not have any room to slip down. Mike N2MG
Your response is typical of most I've received. I understand what you say. In fact, there's a little bulge on one side of each piece of the bracket. That, I figured out is so that it sits on the Z-br
The "standard" Rohn guy bracket at the midpoint of my R45 does nestle down against the z-braces so it cannot slip, but the device that the guy wire attaches to resembles a single giant chain link, an
The ones on my tower have a slightly bowed area that fits around where the diagonal brace meets the leg. Once in place, it can't go very far up or down within hiting the bracing itself. If your was r
I just went and took a quick look at the tower. The assembly is not resting on a horizontal step of the Z-truss. I don't know how we missed that. It sure makes sense. So....does it need to be fixed?
Simple answer: Yes. Without seeing what you actually have done, I would guess that the guy bracket would continue to creep down the tower. Discussing torque arm assemblies vs. guy bracket assemblies
Well, it looks like the consensus among everyone is to redo the brackets. So that's what I'll have to do. Just more work to do up top on the tower! :-) Right now, they are definitely not sitting on t
I wouldn't even question whether you should fix it. You're lucky that you noticed the problem now and not in January when it's -20 outside. John Well, it looks like the consensus among everyone is to
Jon, If they are that high, it is possible you assembled them incorrectly in order to fit around the diagonals -- just under the horizontal bar the bend in the guy brackets for the diagonal would be

It is my understanding that Rohn had torque arms in their product line way back in the late 50's when I first became aware or Rohn. Later, in the 80's I think, they discontinued them because they did
25G Torque Arm Stabilizer. Tessco Price: $148.80 Yes, they are still made. I believe the design is somewhat different now. But Tessco still sells the GA25GD guy bracket that uses the torque bars. So
I just ordered and received a new Rohn catalog from TowerTech and they do show the torque arms on the 25G accsy page. The catalog has drawings up to at least 12/29/99. I can't find any other dates la
Roofs have trusses (some antennas too) - towers have bracing members. That's what confused me. a. A device that holds or fastens two or more parts together or in place; a clamp. b. A device, such as
Look at the pic in the middle left side for the correct placement. http://www.rohnnet.com/rohnnet2001/catalog/pdfs/25G/25G-15.pdf Nice drawing, but what it doesn't show is the "bump" in the guy brack
Interesting. However, not really relevent. I too, have some fairly recent Rohn catalogs and they DO NOT show TB25D Torque Arms anywhere. Are you sure you are looking at Rohn Part Number TB25D? The pr
