You do not need the heavy duty stuff!!!!! DO NOT use it. You can not
tension it to the proper tension as it will be pulling way too hard on the Rohn
25 tower. The 6K stuff must be tightened to around 690 pounds. You need
to use the stuff which is equivalent to 3/16 EHS. I believe it is 3900#.
That needs to be tightened to 390 pounds.
Getting the heavier duty stuff will get you nothing for your extra money
spent and if you tighten it to the specified torque, it will actually be
hurting the tower. Buy the 3/16 equivalent. It is exactly what you need.
I've worked with Philly since the 80s and know what I'm talking about.
Whoever told you you want to go with the 6900# stuff doesn't know what he is
talking about. The 6900# stuff is for Rohn 45 and 55.
