HOLD-DOWN STRAPS 6.4.1.Only Xerxes straps may be used when anchoring a Xerxes tank. 6.4.2. The locations for hold-down straps on each tank are marked on the tank by the arrowhead symbols . 6.4.3. Straps must be used on all marked hold-down locations. ACAUTION Do not place straps between ribs (except on 4 -foot - diameter tanks). Failure to properly place straps may result in tank damage. 6.4.4. Data for hold-down straps are given in TABLE 6-2 and FIGURE 6-1. 6.4.5. Evenly distribute loads by tightening all hold-down straps uniformly until they are snug over the ribs but cause no deflection of the tank. 6.4.6. Take an intermediate measurement of the tank diameter after the straps have been installed and tightened. (See SECTION 14.) 6.5. HARDWARE AND ANCHORING POINTS 6.5.1. Anchoring hardware must be sized according to TABLE 6-3, and manufactured to industry standards and dimensions. 13 Tank Diameter Minimum Turnbuckle Diameter (by Type) Minimum Wire -Rope Diameter Hook Jaw Eye 4' 3/4" 1/2" 1/2" 3/8" 6' 314" 1/2" 1/2" 3/8" 8' 1-1/4" 3/4" 314" 1/2" 10' 1-1/4" 3/4" 314" 1/2" 12' 1-1/4" 3/4" 3/4" 1/2" TABLE 6-3 6.5.2. The installing contractor is responsible for providing hardware and anchor points of sufficient size and strength. 6.5.3. The particular configuration of hardware will be determined by the contractor, the owner or the owner's representative. 6.5.4. Locate the anchor points as shown in TABLE 6-2 and FIGURE 6-1. Refer to dimension "E." Align all anchor points with the marked arrowhead symbols ►® on the tanks, within a tolerance of ±1 inch. 6.5.5. For specific information on hardware and its use, consult the hardware manufacturer or supplier. 6.5.6. The installer is responsible for using appropriate and approved engineering practices when fastening wire rope. Refer to recommendations of wire -rope manufacturer and supplier, and follow accepted industry standards when selecting, using, attaching or connecting wire rope. (See FIGURE 6-3, FIGURE 64 and FIGURE 6-5.) 1 Use only appropriately sized hardware with the strap eye. Oversized hardware may damage the strap eye and result in personal injury or property damage. See FIGURE 6-2 for dimensions of strap eye. Strap 3-1/4" Clips 1-3/8" FIGURE 6-2 6.5.7. When connecting the end of a hold-down strap to the anchor, common methods are using a drop -forged turnbuckle or a looped wire rope, or a combination of both, as shown in FIGURE 6-3. 6.5.8. All exposed metal on the anchoring system must be coated or galvanized to protect against corrosion. 6.5.9. When fastening wire rope, use a minimum of two clips for a 3/8 -inch wire rope and three clips for a 1/2 -inch wire rope on each termination. See TABLE 6-3 for minimum wire -rope diameter.
