El U� FIGURE 6-3 6.5.10. Turn back from thimble the exact amount of wire rope specified by the manufacturer of the clips used. 6.5.11. Apply the first clip at a distance from the dead end of the wire rope that is equal to the largest width of the clip used. (See FIGURE 64.) 6.5.12. For each clip, apply a U -bolt over the dead end of wire rope. (See FIGURE 64.) (Note: Live end rests in saddle.) 6.5.13. When two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble as possible. (See F/GURE64.) 6.5.14. When more than two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble as possible, turn nuts on second clip firmly, but do not tighten initially. (See FIGURE 6.4.) 6.5.15. When more than two clips are required, space additional clips equally between the first two, take up rope slack, and tighten nuts on each U -bolt evenly. 6.5.16. Tighten all hardware uniformly and follow the manufac- turer's torque specifications. Double-check the tightness once the anchoring system is complete. 6.5.17. If forming a loop in the wire rope, a splice is required for connecting the two ends together. Standard rigging practice for splicing wire rope calls for using twice the number of clips recommended for a single -end termination. Use a minimum of four clips for a 3/8 -inch wire rope and a minimum of six clips for a 1/2 -inch wire rope. Place the rope ends parallel to each other and install the clips as shown in FIGURE 6-5. 14 1�1 3/8" Wire Rope 4 Live End 104 Dead End -4— Load Load—� Dead End 104 Live End )0 1/2" Wire Rope Live End Dead End 4 Load Load -4- Dead End Live End® FIGURE 6-5 6.6. -OUT-OF-HOLE ANCHORING 6.6.1. The Xerxes man -out -of -hole (MOH) strapping system is designed for use in installations where water is in the excavation and/or where personnel may not enter the hole because of site restraints. An MOH strapping system can be, but need not be, used in conjunction with Xerxes deadmen. 6.6.2. When using the MOH strapping system, the placement of components is critical. (See FIGURE 6-6.) FIGURE 6-6 6.7. ALTERNATE ANCHORING METHODS IN WET - HOLE INSTALLATIONS 6.7.1. In wet -hole installations, when Xerxes' preferred method of man -out -of -hole anchoring is not available, the methods described below may be used. 6.7.1.1. With both methods, place the hold-down strap between the wire rope and the tank so that the wire rope is never in direct contact with the tank. 6.7.1.2. The H-shaped positioning clips around the strap are designed to accommodate the wire rope on top of the strap as shown in FIGURE 6-7 and FIGURE 6-8.
