5. Install Anti-Sway Cables
The single row of threaded rods can cause the rail
to potentially swing. To prevent this:
• Install two anti-sway cables at each end of the
rail.
CAUTION:
- Locate landing points in the ceiling
structure that do not allow the
cable to angle more than 35° from
vertical in any direction.
- Cables must meet all safety and
regulatory guidelines.
• Install crisscrossed cables as determined during
the planning stage (see page
3).
Tools, Equipment, and Parts Required for
this Operation
• Proper lift equipment (scissor lift with extended
work platform is recommended)
• Unistrut I-beam clamps rated for 294.8kg (650
lbs) using 5/16in rod or M8
• 3.3mm (1/8in) cable, steel galvanized 7x19
strands, 680kg (1500 lbs) minimum working
load limit
• 8mm (5/16in) diameter galvanized eyebolts;
shoulder lifting eyes smaller length threads,
317kg (700 lbs) minimum working load limit
• U-bolt clamps, wire thimbles for 1/8-inch cable
• 9.6mm (3/8in) diameter jaw & jaw turnbuckles;
544kg (1200 lbs) break strength, 362kg (800
lbs) working load limit.
Procedure
At the ceiling:
A. Install I-beam clamps on the side of the
beam opposite the cable pull direction.
B. Thread an eyebolt into the beam clamp
where the rod would normally go.
C. Insert a cable thimble into each eyebolt.
D. Loop the cable around the thimble and
secure it using two U-bolts.
CAUTION: Note the right way to
secure the cable for maximum
strength. Minimum cable turnback is
82mm (3.25in).
At the rail:
E. Attach a turnbuckle to each eyebolt.
F. Insert a cable thimble into the unused jaw of
each turnbuckle.
G. Loop each cable around its respective
thimble and secure it using two U-bolts.
CAUTION: Note the right way to
secure the cable for maximum
strength. Minimum cable turnback is
82mm (3.25in).
Ensure cables are taut by tightening each
turnbuckle to 1.4–2kg-meters (3–4.5ft-lbs) with
a torque wrench.
