[TowerTalk] Fwd: Professional attachment hard line to Rohn tower

[Hans Hammarquist]

 Why copying the "professionals?" Myself, I am using the tape usually used to tape ducts. No, not duct-tape or, as it sometimes is called "duck-tape". "Real" duct-tape is a wide tape with an aluminum backing and fiber inlay. The aluminum makes it UV-hardened, the fiber makes it strong and the width make it not making any deep impression on the cable. Have used that for several years and shown no sign of deterioration.

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______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
