R79T Tower End Cap
The Williams Tower End Cap was designed to protect the foundation anchor bolts from harsh weather conditions. This resilient cap is made from high impact resistant polypropylene withUV inhibitors and attaches to the bolt for a great fit. The caps include a rubber o-ring to positively seal the cap against the tower flange, and can accommodate up to 3 extra thick hardened washers if needed.
Williams Tower End caps are for protection of the tower foundation anchor bolts. With application ofsufficient corrosion protective compound and proper installation, these caps will protect the foundationanchor bolt protrusion above the tower base from corrosion. However, these caps are not warrantedagainst damage caused by falling sheet ice, extraordinary occurrence such as, but not limited to fire,improper installation methods, or destructive actions by humans or animals
For proper installation, Williams recommends pushing the cap fully onto the anchor bolt, followed by turning in the direction of the threads to completely engage. Also recommended is the application of grease or some other corrosion inhibiting compound to the bolt prior to cap installation.
