Allmooring cable is manufactured of7x19 strand, 304 stainless steel.HP DIA WGHT STGH2-30 3/16 65 3,70040-75 1/4 110 6,400100 3/8 243 12,000HP – Aerator horsepowerDIA – Cable diameter in inchesWGHT – Approximate weight per 100feet in pounds.STGH – Nominal breaking strength inpounds.SHACKLEHeavy-duty shackles, manufacturedof 304 stainless steel, are availablein 3/16”, 1/4”, and 3/8” for use withthe corresponding diameter mooringcable. The shackle is attached to thethimble. This allows for easydetachment of the aerator fromthe mooring line.EXTENSION SPRINGIn applications where there are smallamounts of variation in the waterlevel, stainless steel extension springsare used. The springs are installed atthe mooring points to allowapproximately 10 inches of expansionfor each springTHIMBLEHeavy-duty thimbles, manufacturedof 316 stainless steel, are available in3/16”, 1/4”, and 3/8” for use with thecorresponding diameter mooringcable.SNAP HOOKHeavy-duty snap hooks, manufacturedof 304 stainless steel, are available in3/16”, 1/4”, and 3/8” for use with thecorresponding diameter mooringcable. The snap hook is attached tothe thimble. This allows for simpledetachment of the aerator from themooring line for scheduledmaintenance or other services.3/16” - 1/4” MOORING HARDWAREARRANGEMENTFor up to 30 HP, mooring consists of 1thimble and 1 clip on each end of themooring line. Above 30 HP, use 1thimble and 2 clips on each end.WIRE ROPE CLIPHeavy-duty U-bolt clips, manufacturedof 316 stainless steel, are available in3/16”, 1/4”, and 3/8” for use with thecorresponding diameter mooringcable.12MOORING RINGMooring rings, manufactured of 304stainless steel, are used to connectaerators together when the aeratorsare not moored to shore, posts, orconcrete blocks.3/8” AND LARGER MOORINGHARDWARE ARRANGEMENTMooring consists of 1 thimble and 2wire rope clips on each end of themooring line. Install the U-bolt sectionof the wire rope clips on the “dead” orshort end of the cable, and the saddleon the “live” or long end of the cable.Apply the second clip as near thethimble as possible.
