wire rope bracing in stock

Cabling is a specialized field of tree work whereby the woody structure of a tree is reinforced to provide stability for a tree that should remain in place, but has some structural liabilities. Tree cabling supplies were frequently requested here at WesSpur, so we brought them in. If there is a tree cabling product that you do not see here, please call or contact us through the web site and we will do our best to bring in the products you would like to see. Industry standard practices for cabling, bracing, & installing tree support systems are covered in the ANSI A300 Support Systems Standard.

Loos & Co., Inc. manufactures and sells pre-stretched, color-coded, break strength certified Seismic Bracing Cable for use in satisfying the requirements of the laws, codes, standards, and specifications for earthquake resistance of architectural, mechanical, and electrical components and systems.

These braces are Underwriters Laboratories and ICC-ES Listed® for use in satisfying the requirements of NFPA-13 for all pipe sizes. Furthermore, these braces have been pre-engineered for use in satisfying the earthquake bracing of all the model codes and standards for all non-structural building components and systems.

nVent CADDY cable bracing is a simple seismic bracing method for mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) and fire sprinkler systems, including CPVC pipe systems. Cable bracing is the only option when brace lengths exceed the brace length limitation of 9"-7" (3 m) for strut or when confined/crowded spaces make rigid systems difficult to install. The system includes steel cables complying with the ASCE® 19 pre-streching requirements, attachment fittings, swaged oval sleeves & related tools, as well as pre-assembled kits.

For over 60 years, Loos & Co., Inc. has pioneered and thrived in the highly critical profession of wire, wire rope, and hardware manufacturing for use in applications where critical outcomes are directly at stake.

Pairing Loos & Co., Inc. tools, hardware, and accessories with the highest quality pulleys and sheaves will repay you with the performance you have come to expect from our products.

Seismic bracing products can be categorised in two distinctive types: Rigid Braces and Steel Wire Rope Braces. A single rigid brace can work under tension or compression loading and they are very popular with fire fighting and sprinkler installers. Having said that steel wire ropes offer cost effective solution even though they can only resist tension loads and two braces are required at single restraint point. Where vibration isolation is of a concern rigid bracing can not be used and the only alternative is steel wire ropes. They are quick to install and offer great flexibility. Seismic bracing is most commonly used in protecting suspended MEP services (ducts, pipes, cable trays…) and equipment (fans, AHU, FCU…).
