This is installed into the end trees to attach the support wire and the tension grip that will be attached to the mainline.
Item # 2 Gallagher Rapid Tightener. One tightener is needed for one wire. Tighten them with a 1/2" t handle.
Attachment 9830
To side tie if needed use the same product used to keep lateral lines from pulling on the saddles and creating leaks...rapid tie from CDL.
The line is stretched for not more than 3% and in 500' sections at a time. Some brands of pipe will elongate if over stretched so don't over stretch the pipe. When it is stretched, lash it to the wire. When stretched to 3%, lash at 18" for support.
Need some pics let me know.
Good Luck!

so i just completed a 500 foot line and I wasn't able to stretch it that much!!!!! holy cow I had a hard enough time getting 5 feet of stretch on my cdl HD mainline with wire. at 3% I would have had to stretch 15 feet!!! how do you even do that???? man I hope that line is going to be ok. don't really want to go back and fix. I also thought you used hooked couplers to connect to main line wire, but you say I need that rapid strap instead?? this seems more complicated to me by the minute
