[TowerTalk] Terminating Phillystran to EHS

>  The new style isn't quite as easy.? I've used 502 insulators at the termination point when I got a bunch at $1 each, which really worked well.? I've heard some guys? simply hook two thimbles together with the PLP grips inside for the connection.? It seems this method would eventually fail due to the wearing away from vibration on the galvanizing and rust would start corroding the unprotected stell thimbles.     Nothing's going to wear away. There is no movement to anything - it's all just in tension. There's no failure in the method you're describing in my experience.      And if you're going to use the 502's with the Phillystran, be sure to use the second crossover mark on the Preform.  Cheers & GL,Steve   K7LXCTOWER TECH
