4.6.2 Lashing wire termination
1. Secure the lashing wire to the strand with a lashing wire grip before cutting
or otherwise releasing tension in the lashing wire. The lashing wire grip should
be placed far enough from where the supports, spacers and lashing wire clamps
are to be installed to avoid having to move the grip.
Note: The situation can exist where the .038 in. (0,97 mm) dia. lashing wire
may nest in the space between the wires of the 10M strand. Ensure that the D
lashing wire grip is securely contacting both the lashing wire and the strand to
prevent loss of tension in the lashing wire.
4.6.3 Lashing wire clamps
Figure 25, D Lashing Wire Clamp
1. The D or E lashing wire clamp may be used with .038 (0,97 mm) and .045
(1,1 mm) dia. lashing wire on strand sizes of .25 to .38 in. (6 to 10 mm) diame-
ter (6M, 6.6M and 10M).
2. The nuts of the clamp are tightened and loosened with the 7/16 in. end of a
216C tool or B ratchet wrench.
