Intended for use on aerial cables of 18 to 150 pairs. • A.C. Damper plate is made of high-grade aluminum alloy with 25,000 psi tensile strength. • Lashed cable supports are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel with 80,000 psi tensile strength. • “D” lashing clamps are made of high quality steel mechanically galvanized to meet ASTM specification B695. Diamond’s A.C. Damper Kit Consists of the Following: 1 pc. A.C. Damper Plate. 2 pc. Stainless Steel lashed cable supports, 16" lg. (34–08922) 3 pc. “D” Lashing clamps (26–09010) Installation sheet enclosed. Cable Guards are not included due to variable cable sizes which can be accommodated. Installation 1. Select proper size cable guard for application. 2. Place guard on cable over horizontal slots in A.C. Damper. 3. Insert lashed cable supports through horizontal slots. Use two wraps and secure by bending end over top of buckle. Allow 1/4" clearance between cable and top of A.C. Damper. *A.C.D. must be allowed to swing free with the wind. 4. Position lashing clamps inside lashed cable supports and secure. Lashing clamps will restrict longitudinal movement to cable area protected by cable guards. 5. Placement – The number of A.C.D’s varies with length of cable span and terrain. The following is recommended as a guide for maximum effectiveness. Level Ground – Locate at span’s center for 125–170' Spans (Fig. 1). On spans 170–300' Locate two A.C.D.’s each one fourth the total span length from either pole. (Fig. 2) Steep Grade – Locate one tenth total span length from pole at lower level on 125–170' spans. (Fig. 3) On spans 170–300' two A.C.D.’s are required. Locate one at one fourth the total span length from lower pole. Locate second A.C.D. halfway between first A.C.D. and uphill pole. (Fig. 4) *Note – When installing on Fig. 8 cable A.C.D. should be secured to exposed strand. Ordering Information Part No. Carton Qty.

The expanding anchor retains its shape under extremely heavy loads because the base plate supports the blades in the middle and distributes the load uniformly over the blades. Reinforcing ribs provide additional strength. Ordering Information Part No. J0870 (E) J8115 (E) J8135 (E) J8135-1 J8200-1 (E) J8200-3/4 J0283 J0283-1 (in.)

If increased strength is required, either a larger diameter Grade 430 wire should be used or Grades 302 or 316 should be used because of their higher breaking strength. In extreme strength applications, double lashings of Grades 302 or 316 should be considered for highest possible load bearing capabilities. Corrosion - In order of increasing corrosion resistance, the materials are ranked 430, 302, and 316. For general service conditions where the material is exposed to non-salt environments, Grade 430 is adequate.
