Yes. Tighten them all the way down. It really squishes the Phily down.
Used 4000 lb Philly on a Rohn 25 without preform grips. Worked perfectly.

Hi Guys,
Looking for advise on how to terminate Phillystran HPTG 1200I small diameter 3/32" guy cable for maximum strength? Instructions
say to use 3/32" cable clamps and I've tried that but the small diameter Phillystran squashes down so small the cable strength is greatly
weakened. Perhaps I'm tightening the cable clamps too tight? If so, there appears to be a real fine balance between getting the clamps
tight enough to hold but not too tight to squash the cable and weaken it. Can anyone shed light on how to properly tighten the cable clamps for
maximum cable strength on this small 3/32" diameter Phillystran? Thanks & 73! Dick- K9OM (RLVZ@aol.com)
