Last night, I was cleaning up a used Rohn 25AG3 pointy top in preparation
to spot-regalvanize it prior to installation this summer.
In one of the legs, I noticed something entirely blocking the leg about
12" up from the bottom of the section. With a screwdriver, I managed to
pry it out of the leg.
It was a metal cap, which I think was originally part of the assembly,
but it had become corroded through exposure to the elements.
Looking at my four other used sections of 25G, I found such metal caps in
a few of the sections, totally 4 caps in 12 legs. (One section has 2, two
have 1, one has none)
My question is -- what are these things? Are they something to hold the
hardware for the sections?
