Fairleads
(OP)
Hello there,
Does anyone know of defined limits for cable angles through plastic fairleads? I am looking at 1/8" dia cable with approx 110lbs of tension through it.
Thanks,
David

I'm not sure where or if it's written down anywhere, but for guidance, 3 degrees max change of direction through a fairlead is a pretty commonly-accepted limit it seems. I believe I've also seen that number given on homebuilt inspection criteria lists (for use by the inspectors).
Regards
