5. INSTALLATION
Cable Installation
There is more than one way to install the cable for the cable control. We recommend that you
rely on your qualified contractor’s experience and techniques for cable installation.
Below is an
example of one method of installation.
You will need two cables:
Cable 1, Spout Position Cable:
This cable is used to turn the spout. It should be long enough to reach from the Upper Control
Wheel to the Lower Control Wheel assembly. This can be determined by the vertical distance
between the two wheels and the horizontal distance from the side of the trunking to the center
of the Upper Control Wheel. (
See Figure 5J for formula) Multiply this distance x 2 to account for
the distance up and back down. Add 26' to this distance to account for 2½ wraps around the
Upper and Lower Control Wheels (Approximately 3'-9" per wrap plus an extra 2 wraps allowance
for possible error. 7 wraps total = 26')
Spout Position Cable Length Formula: (A + B x 2) + 26' = Cable 1 Length
Note: Cable is not supplied with cable control. The company recommends 3/16" aircraft
cable.
