I have looked thru the Towertalk archives and am re-visiting a question
about using Phillystran for tower guys to see if anything has changed
since the 2006 and earlier posts on the subject and more experience with
Philly has been had in ice conditions.
Phillistran doesn't
recommend cable clamps or End Sleeves, due to the elastic nature of
Phillystran; they won't stay on. They don't have an alternative
recommendation for "terminating" for "serving" the
completed long & short legs of a Big Grip, especially to protect it
from water flow down the guy, ice penetration and subsequent loosening.
Suggested practices, other than "ice caps" or hose
clamps?
