Cable splicing and tensioning set with tension reducer
Set contains:
- 2x WAQLOCK dual-cone attachments
- 1x WGRL shackle
- 1x WTD12 turnbuckle
- 1x WKLN tension reducer + WGRL shackle
Tension reducer and dual-cone attachments made of A2 (AISI 304) stainless steel, shackles and turnbuckle made of A4 (AISI 316) stainless steel
Direct splicing of the cable using the special dual-cone attachments means a reduction factor for the nominal cable load of just 0.9 can be used
Advantages of A2 (AISI 304) and A4 (AISI 316) stainless steel:
Remains unaltered over time, as it is resistant to corrosion from exposure to atmospheric agents
Because of its intrinsic characteristics, the material can dissipate more energy in the event of a fall than galvanised steel, thereby reducing the need for maintenance on the attachments and on the connection structure
Tension reducer - requirements and intervention:
- The tension reducer (patented) considerably reduces the tension on the end points in the fall arrest phase
- A tension reducer must be present for each section of cable
- At the WCLMxx and WCLMxxR corrugated sheet metal anchor points, the tension reducers are already integrated on the anchor points themselves
- In the event of a fall, the tension reducer extends (see fig. A and fig. B), breaking the safety rivets. It is therefore essential to carry out a non-routine inspection before using the system again
Cable splicing:
Please see below for the assembly sequences for the WAQLOCK dual-cone attachment, to be spliced on both ends of the cable
Mounting of the anchoring line:
Each section of cable requires the use of a WLAKIT wall set or, with corrugated sheet metal anchor points WCLMxx and WCLMxxR, a WLAKITLM wall set
Warranty:
10 years for materials (from the date of purchase)
Anchorage to the load-bearing structure:
The surface must be assessed and the anchor must be sized by a qualified technician. The suitability of the surface for absorbing the stress exerted by the falling operator must always be tested (see standard UNI 11560:2022)
Certifications:
The anchoring line has undergone the tests required by standard UNI 11578:2015 and is compliant with type C. The ideal number of operators for using this device is stated in the catalogue. The certification will no longer be valid if the product is disassembled, altered, modified or improperly installed. Certifications can be downloaded from the website: www.wuerth.it/progettisti/prodotti/linea-vita/
Regular inspection:
The anchoring system is subject to regular mandatory inspection at intervals of no more than 2 years, as required by Point 9.2.3. of standard UNI 11560:2022. The regular inspections must be performed by the intermediate installer and/or qualified technician, always assuming liability for the activity undertaken. The checks to be performed refer to the table 1, 2 and 3 of UNI 11560:2022
Further information:
Please refer to the information pages, the installation and operation manual and the handbook for the system supplied with the products. These documents can be downloaded from the website: www.wuerth.it/progettisti/prodotti/linea-vita/
For creating anchor lines to protect against falls from height
Only for splicing and tensioning WLA A4 (AISI 316) stainless steel ropes Ø 8 mm made up of 19 strands
Suitable for use by a maximum of three operators simultaneously, connected to the rope using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE); the PPE of each operator must not, in case of a fall, generate a load greater than 6 kN
Suitable for anchor lines that deviate from the horizontal position by no more than 15°
