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:

Cushion sleeve, MLT Strap Cleat, Mounting bolts, Retainer clips

  1. Prepare 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.

  2. Secure the bracket

    Thread the channel nut, rotating it 90 degrees to grasp the channel edges. Continue threading until resistance is felt, then torque the bolt to a recommended 75 lbs∙in [8.5 N∙m].

  3. Install 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 some overlap.

  4. Wrap the MLT Strap Cleat

    Wrap the cushion sleeve around the cables and bracket. While keeping the cushion sleeve in position, encircle the cable bundle with the MLT Strap Cleat.

  5. Tension the strap

    Insert the tail into the strap cleat head, positioning the head near the top of the cable bundle. Pull the tail until taut, ensuring the tail end is pointing toward you.

  6. Double loop the strap

    Repeat the previous step, looping the tail again to create a double loop. Ensure that the MLT Strap Cleats are double looped for proper functionality.

  7. Use the PBTMT tool

    Before using the PBTMT tool, review the separate instructions for proper operation. Set the tool tension to match the MLT Strap Cleat being used.

  8. 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.
