| Subject: | Nicopress Sleeves-Control Rigging Question |
Control rigging question here. The standard supplied tin coated copper sleeves
provided by zenith are marked part number S-11-004. The ones available at spruce
have a different part number alltogether. Are the ones furnished by Zenith
Mil spec? Is there such a thing as a milspec nicopress since they were really
originally designed for phone guy wires?
I am making some control cable ends and I want to make sure that I'm doing everything
right, but I can't find too much literature on this. I know the crimp
procedure 1Middle, 2thimble side 3back side, and I know to use my go/ no go gauge
for a size M, but I just want some reassurance. Are the S-11-004 the same
as what is available at spruce? I just figure it only takes one cable slipping
loose to really ruin your day.
I'm using the two bolt cheapo crimper available at spruce which works well but
is slow. I cut a couple crimps in half with a drem and it is nice to see that
every thing is compact with no voids.
Is it typical to proof test cables IF so to what pressure 7x19 is supposed to
be good for 2300 #, do you test to 1/4? I can't image that these control cables
would ever actually hae more thann 150 pounds on them.
Talk to me.

I bought the Spruce equivalent tin coated sleeves and they were the same parts
as the ZAC supplied stuff. Go for it. I used the cheapo 2-bolt crimper also.

You might get more life from that crimper if you replace the washers with larger
ones. Two per bolt. Hardened if you can find them. Keep the threads oiled up.
