Installation Procedure

1. Choose the correct size sheave depending upon the cable’s outer
diameter and the cable manufacturer’s recommended cable bending
radius. Refer to the Condux Cable Installation Equipment & Tools
Catalog for sheave dimensions.

2. Hang the sheave in the manhole using a rope attached to the
sheave support arm. Position the sheave so that the cable
contacts the sheave in a horizontal line.

3. Attach a load-rated chain between the sheave tie-down arm and
a pulling-in iron. If no pulling-in irons are present or usable, use a
Condux Jamb Skid.

4. If the sheave is angled away from the duct, use a Condux
alignment arm to keep the cable from jumping off the sheave.

For installation or removal from existing cables, the sheave tie-down arm

can be split and swung out of the way. Simply remove a locking pin from
the side of the arm and swing the yoke out of the way. Only the supplied
locking pin or grade 8 bolt should be used to lock yoke to arm.
