NOTE: If a D-ring/D-ring strap is used on a 4 -foot -diameter tank, the anchor point must be 3 inches below the top of the bedding. 1.3.7.3.5. Use only appropriately sized hardware with the strap eye. See Figure 1-7 for dimensions of strap eye. GALVANIZED STRAP EYE 31/4" 13/8" GAL STR, 1.3.7.3.6. When connecting the end of an anchor strap to the anchor point, common methods are those shown in Figure 1-8: A) using a drop forged turnbuckle, B) using a turnbuckle and turnbuckle extension, C) using the hook end of the strap, D) using a looped wire rope, E) using a combination of a drop -forged turnbuckle and a looped wire rope. A B C D 11.3.7.3.7. If using a 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 1-8 and Figure 1.9. 1.3.7.3.8. The installer is responsible for using appropriate and approved engineering practices when fastening wire rope. 1.3.7.3.9. When fastening wire rope, use a minimum of 2 clips for a 3/8 -inch [1 -cm] wire rope and 3 clips for a'h-inch [1.3 -cm] wire rope on each termination. SeeTable 1-3 for minimum wire rope diameter. 1.3.7.3.10. Turn back from the thimble the exact amount of wire rope specified by the manufacturer of the clips used. 1.3.7.3.11. 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 1-9.

For each clip, apply a U -bolt over the dead end of the wire rope. See Figure 1-9. NOTE: Live end rests in the saddle. 1.3.7.3.13. When only 2 clips are required, apply the second clip as close to the loop orthimble as possible. See Figure 1-9. 1.3.7.3.14. When more than 2 clips are required, apply the second clip as close to the loop or thimble as possible, turn nuts on the second clip firmly, but do not tighten initially. See Figure 1-9. 1.3.7.3.15. When more than 2 clips are required, space additional clips equally between the first 2, take up rope slack and tighten nuts on each U -bolt evenly. 1.3.7.3.16. Tighten all hardware uniformly and follow the manufacturer's torque specifications. Double-check the tightness once the anchoring system is complete. 1.3.7.3.17. If forming a loop in the wire rope, a splice is required for connecting the two ends together. 1.3.7.3.18. Standard rigging practice for splicing wire rope calls for using twice the number of clips recommended for a single -end termination. 1.3.7.3.19. Use a minimum of 4 clips for a 318 -inch [1 -cm] wire rope and a minimum of 6 clips for a'/z-inch [1.3 -cm] wire rope. 1.3.7.3.20. Place the rope ends parallel to each other and install the clips as shown in Figure 1-9. 1.3.7.4. DEADMEN 1.3.7.4.1. Deadmen help anchor tanks in installations in which there is potential for a high water table or trapped water. 1.3.7.4.2. A deadman is typically a reinforced concrete beam and should be designed according to the applicable American Concrete Institute code or the applicable Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard, whichever is relevant.
