> Reading the Towertalk archives, it became apparent that 3 Chicago grips
are favored during the guy tensioning and tower plumbing process. Do I've got
3 Klein 1613-40 grips, and 3 come-alongs. What I can't picture is how the
equalization plate, the come-along, the grip, and the turnbuckle all go
together without one interferring with the other. Can anyone explain?
Photos?
I use one of my omnipresent nylon loop slings used as a choker on the
anchor rod before the welded eye to hold one end of the comealong. That should
minimize any interference.
OTOH if you have one person pull the guy with a moderate amount of
force, you can get enough tension on the guy to install it in the PreForm. Do
all
three of them manually and you should have the right combination of equal
initial tension and enough thread on the turnbuckle to be useful. I've used
both
methods and they both work.
