INSTALLATION (continued)
TAUT RESTRAINTS
If the installer can access the entire length of the chute, use taut restraints. If the chute is
anchored to a scaffold, use taut restraints. Secure the chute tightly to the building structure, at
intervals of 25 feet (8 meters) or less, using a 5/8” (16 mm) diameter nylon rope or equivalent.
As the sketches show, the closely spaced restraints hold the chute tight to the building structure,
preventing the wind from moving the chute.

The sketches on this page show the correct application of restraints.
• Because the interval between
restraints is less than 25 feet
(8 m) the wind does not affect
the chute.
