The Murphy Builders Site

Waddayathink,

I looked at another builders Moose the other day. Noticed in my pictures
when I got home that all his cables only have two crimps in the nicopress
sleeves instead of the recommended (required??) three. I know we had
discussions on here before about two or three. Seems like MAM maybe had
some instruction once that said or showed only two?

Should I say anything, or does it really make that big of difference??
Looks like all his cables are done.

I would sure want someone to point out such a thing to me. If they are
1/8" cables they should have 3 crimps or the nicopress will be weaker
than the cable. Not all cable diameters use 3 crimps which may explain
some of the confusion. Ask him to check AC43.13. For such a simple
reliable thing, it still seems like every year I read about a failed
nicopress due to faulty installation or maintanance.

I originally put 2 crimps, after talking to some well informed people, I cut
them off and put on new nicco's with 3 crimps. I feel better.

Good luck
