[TowerTalk] Crimp Sleeves

[Bert Almemo]

Hi Wilson and all,

If you're using galvanized wire you should use aluminum sleeves and copper
sleeves for SS wire.

Wilson -

I'm assuming you mean the Nicopress sleeves?

I've used both, but zinc plated makes sense if you're using zinc plated guy
wire.

If you use the Nicopress sleeves make sure you have the proper Nicopress
crimp tool.  These are not cheap, but required for a proper job.  If you
have lots of ends to secure, it's worth the price and much easier than
u-bolt and saddle approach.

What's the preferred material for crimp sleeves on EHS wire?
I'm guessing copper, but haven't found real instructions.
Maybe zinc plated?
Any favorite sources?  I see them on Amazon.
