| Installation Torque | 4.5 ft-lb (clean, dry, unlubricated threads) |
| Specifications | Base clip counts and turnback apply only to the wire-rope constructions and terminations in Crosby application Table 1. Add one clip for Seale or similar large-outer-wire 6 x 19 construction at 1 in and larger; add one when using a sheave instead of a thimble. Increase turnback proportionally when using extra clips. Torque is for clean, dry, unlubricated threads. Do not use on plastic-coated rope. Follow all Crosby assembly, testing and retightening instructions; these fields are not a complete installation procedure. |
