[TowerTalk] 55G and used bolts

[Wayne Kline]

Chris,

I echo Steve’s comments.    Bolts nuts are A-OK  as for the Phillystran  if there Big-Grips and thimbles  are intact. Your golden.



As for Galvanized Strand  IMO  it’s cheap and you’ll need new big grips.. IMO replace it.



GL on your project.

I re use the bolts and the nuts and have for many installations
Philystran is also O.K. to reuse just inspect for any nicks in the out
jacket, if nicked I do not use for anything critical
EHS steel is aslo OK to re use as long is there is no signs of rust from
laying out in the pasture etc
EHS Steel Big grips ARE  *NOT* to be re used. (*they can be reinstalled
twice with limits* and you have no idea how many prior times they were
installed)

Have fun, Be safe !
