Next question is I run a 5/8" cmi steel block and would like to be able to add it to some new systems.

I'm ordering some xrr from mr. treestuff. I know adding it to 1/2" whoopies eye sling etc is no problem.

The problem is for bigger stuff can I squeeze 5/8" tenex which is 16 mm going into a 14 mm sling slot on the medium xrr. As well the large has a 20mm sling slot for a 16 mm sling will it be to loose?

Any advice besides the obvious buy a 3/4" block and use big xrr?

16 mm will not fit in a 14mm slot.

16mm sling will be fine in a 20mm slot. As long as its cinched tight it wont matter.

Xman makes a 3 ring terminal xrr sling combo out of the 1/2" tenex, basket rated for 2000 lbs. Awesome idea but the beast ring will hold 3/4"-1" tenex.

So my question is if a beast tri ring(1 large ring for retrieval) 3/4" sling was made what would be its minimum or recommended length and swl?

 

[evo]

I may be wrong but my take with the x rings, is that they are as strong (actually stronger) than the rope they are spiced on to. At least with Tenex, not sure about amsteel or any of the super hero ropes.

 

[KevinS]

Yes sorry I understand the tenex is the swl I guess I more after minimum size after burys?
It's always a basket so what do the splices take away from the original strength?
Those are better questions.

 

[evo]

Samson says 90% to 100% with a straight bury, not sure about locking brummel with bury though, probably more than 80%

Awesome thanks Evo

Swl of 3/4" tenex in basket and beast rings??

More than the tree most likely. 5-7k maybe
