Not really. The "manufacturer" is the company that designs and
manufactures it. In Rohn's case, they buy finished products from other
manufacturers for resale; i.e. EHS guy cable, tension gauges, Preformed
grips, screw-in anchors, etc. So in ALL cases, you go back to THE
manufacturer for their specs and instructions. Rohn IS NOT the authority or
manufacturer for Preformed grips. Neither is US Tower the authority or
manufacturer of the cables they use so for UST to say you don't need to
lubricate the cables is not only wrong but bad advice. But Rohn IS the
authority for THEIR products.
In case anyone forgot, the LXC Prime Directive is to "DO what the
manufacturer says."
