How to Install the MLT Locking Strap Cable Cleat

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the MLT Locking Strap Cable Cleat, ensuring secure cable management on ladder rung systems.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Scissors or shears, PBTMT Installation Tool

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Cushion sleeve, MLT Strap Cleat

  1. Mount the bracket

    Align and insert the channel nut through the bottom opening of the ladder rung. Position the bracket assembly perpendicular to the ladder rung and thread the channel nut, rotating it 90 degrees to grasp the channel edges. Torque the bolt to a recommended 75 lbs∙in [8.5 N∙m].

  2. Prepare the cushion sleeve

    Cut the cushion sleeve to a suitable length to wrap around the perimeter of the cables and bracket. Position the cushion sleeve around the cables and bracket, ensuring there is some overlap when fully wrapped.

  3. Install the MLT Strap Cleat

    Wrap the cushion sleeve around the cables and bracket. Encircle the cable bundle with the MLT Strap Cleat, insert the tail into the strap cleat head, and pull the tail until taut. Repeat this step to create a double loop, ensuring the MLT Strap Cleats are double looped for functionality.

  4. Tension the strap cleat

    Before using the PBTMT tool, review the separate instructions for proper operation. Set the tool tension to match the MLT Strap Cleat being used. Feed the MLT Strap Cleat’s tail into the nose and mandrel slots of the tool.

  5. Finalize the installation

    Press and hold the trigger on the PBTMT tool until it automatically tensions the MLT Strap Cleat and cuts off the excess tail, leaving a flush finish.
