Description

Lashing Rods can be used on all types of messengered overhead cables. Lashing Rods are particularly adaptable to spans obstructed by trees or short spans over traffic intersections. Once applied, they provide a permanently snug fit and trim, modern appearance. Made from the same basic material as the messenger, Lashing Rods feature overall low cost and simple installation.

Grouping One Cable with Messenger

In selecting the proper size Lashing Rod it is necessary to determine the smallest circumscribing circle that will enclose the messenger and cables. For grouping only one cable with messenger, add the diameters and multiply by a factor of .850.

Grouping Two Equal Diameter Cables

For grouping two equal diameter cables, multiply the diameter of one cable times 2.00. Then to find the diameter of the maximum messenger that will fit in the interstices of the cables multiply the diameter of one cable times .666.

Grouping Three Equal Diameter Cables

For grouping three equal diameter cables, multiply the diameter of one cable times 2.155. Then to find the diameter of the maximum messenger that will fit in the interstices of the cables, multiply the diameter of one cable times .483.

Grouping Four Equal Diameter Cables

For grouping four equal diameter cables, multiply the diameter of one cable times 2.414. Then to find the diameter of the maximum messenger that will fit in the interstices of the cables, multiply the diameter of one cable times .414.

Grouping Unequal Diameter Cables or Messengers

For grouping unequal diameter cables or messengers too large to fit into the interstices above, the minimum diameter grouping can best be determined by a graphic layout scale:
