splice must be made with fi ve tucks.
Connectors attached to wire rope
lifelines must be attached using
a formed eye termination with a
thimble. Acceptable methods of
forming spliced eyes are: Spliced
eye with one swaged ferrule;
Return eye with a minimum of two
swaged ferrules; Return eye with a
minimum of three wire rope clips.
The connection must support 5,000
lbs (22.2 kN). Follow manufacturer's
instructions when forming eye with
swaged ferrules or wire rope clips.
IMPORTANT: Knots must not be used for load
bearing end terminations. See ANSI Z359.1.
Some knots reduce lifeline strength fi fty percent
or more.
IMPORTANT: If the user splices or forms end terminations, proper procedures must be followed to ensure compatibility in
size, shape, and strength. DBI/SALA is not responsible for subsystems not manufactured by DBI/SALA.
