LPI offers a standard 4m (13 ft) and 7m (22.7 ft) guy kit made up of light weight plastic coated
fibreglass, non-conductive cable. The LPI GUYKIT-4M and GUYKIT-7M are both non-conductive
guying kits. They are designed to be installed with the use of a Guy Ring at the top section
of the FRP Mast as illustrated in Figure 40. When
guying from the LPI Inline Coupling, the use
of stainless steel Guy Wire Kits (GUYKIT-
4M-SS + GUYKIT-7M-SS) is recommended.
Important Recommendations:
• The guying angle must be no greater
than 60° from horizontal.
• The inline coupling couples the
upper and lower mast sections and
provides guying points and an exit
point for the HVSC downconductor.
• Minimum of 3 guying grips per guy
end.
• Guying grips spaced at a minimum
of 25mm (1 in.).
• Grips are correctly orientated
- saddle on the longer length side of
the guy and U-bolt over the tail side
of the guy.
• Tighten grips to no more than
60cN.m (5Ibf.in) of torque.
• Customised guy kits can be supplied
upon request.
