What is the minimum number of clips required at the end of a guy wire after a 180° bend?

The minimum number of clips required at the end of a guy wire after a 180° bend is indeed based on wire diameter. The wire diameter directly influences the amount of stress exerted on the clips and their ability to securely hold the guy wire in place.

Clips are designed to accommodate different wire sizes, ensuring that the holding strength is appropriate for the wire being used. Larger diameter wires may require more clips or larger, more robust clips to safely manage the tension and prevent slippage or failure.

While environmental conditions, installation guidelines, and local regulations can impact overall installation practices and safety standards, the specific requirement for the number of clips after a bend is primarily governed by the characteristics of the wire itself. This dependency on wire diameter is crucial for maintaining safe and effective tension in the guy wire system.
