Ordinary strut channel and clamps can be used for this. I’ve got these on my
site and have the parts specified for various sizes of common coaxes/hardlines.
http://www.kf7p.com/KF7P/StrutPic.html. The strut channel can be cut and
U-bolted to the tower legs, and then clamps inserted to hold the hardline(s).
It’s a clean, solid way to hold onto things, and looks professional, but will
take some work to install (easy to do but a lot more work than taping cables to
tower legs.)

I have the same query for my 150 foot Rohn 45 tower. In my case, the 7/8 is
for a VHF/UHF repeater, and several 1/2 runs are for various other antennas on
the tower. I have seen some nice hardware for attachment at the top, offered
by Chris, KF7P.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Professional attachment hard line to Rohn tower
Want to attach 1/2" and or 7/8" hard line to Rohn tower specifcally Rohn
55 on one tower face horizontal brace or the tower leg and want to know if
anybody has done this with brackets or some sort of attachments from a 3rd
party manufacturer of said brackets or hardware? A search of the Rohn catalog
did not seem to reveal any sort of hardware available from them.
Has anybody else found a source for such a thing and a fairly easy efficient
install for running the hard line up the tower? Similar to the neat arrangement
we all see on commercial installs such as cell sites, etc.
I can go with the old standby of 33 tape, black ties wraps etc. however if
possible I would like to install the clamping material to hold the hard line
securely in place as it goes up the tower and be done with it.
Thanks Charles K5OF
