[TowerTalk] Another Phillystran question

[Earnshaw, Darrell]

Steve, Are there special end sleeves for Phillystran preformed grips? I have
just installed six of them from a kit supplied by Texas Towers, but they
came with 6 black tie-wraps, which are used to prevent unravelling.

     Same as any other guy material, more or less. Since it has the same 
breaking strength as equivalent sizes of EHS, it isn't any more or less
prone 
to sagging than EHS.

      Phillystran Preformed grips should be installed with end sleeves also 
known as ice caps. They prevent accidental grip unravelling as ice travels 
down the guy to the anchor.
