If forming a loop in the wire rope,a splice is required for the wire rope and the tank so that the wire rope is never in connecting the two ends together.Standard rigging practice for direct contact with the tank. splicing wire rope calls for using twice the number of clips recommended for a single-end termination.Use a minimum of 6.7.1.2.The H-shaped positioning clips around the strap are four clips for a 3/8-inch wire rope and a minimum of six clips for designed to accommodate the wire rope on top of the strap a 1/2-inch wire rope.Place the rope ends parallel to each other as shown in FIGURE 6-7 and FIGURE 6-8. and install the clips as shown in FIGURE 6-5. 14
