1 Fast Rope / F.R.I.E.S. Specifications Mil-F HELI-VAC FAST ROPE SYSTEMS provide safe and efficient methods for infiltrating and extracting personnel to and from target locations. A special low stretch, abrasion resistant fiber, Dacron M/P Type 77 and Pli-Moor construction eliminates rope twists and kinking, resists heat build-up during use and affords fast, safe and fully controlled insertions / extractions. 1.0 Materials & Construction 2.0 Main Line: The main rope line shall be fabricated from virgin continuous filament, Performance Fibers, (formally DuPont ) Type 77 Mulitplex Dacron Polyester constructed of heat and light resistant polyethylene terephthalate type polyester with a staple wrap. 2.1Main Line Construction (All Fast Ropes): The rope shall be constructed of eight strands arranged in four pairs, where one individual strand shall be laid adjacent to the second strand in each pair, and shall conform to the requirements specified herein and in table I. Individual strands shall be made of one size of singles yarn and shall have an equal number of yarns. The yarn shall be denier, with a minimum breaking strength of 620 lbs. and shall be S and Z twist. The rope shall be constructed without knots or splices in the strands of the rope. However, knots will be permitted in the singles yarn. In preparation of the constituent rope strands, the pattern S, (or Z ), shall be employed in the twisting of the yarns and the individual strands of the two pairs while the components of the remaining pairs shall be twisted in the S, (or Z ), pattern. The finished rope shall be so constructed that in the interweaving procedure, pairs of strands of the former structure shall be twisted in the Z direction, while alternating pairs of the latter shall be twisted simultaneously in the S direction. Heat setting of the rope or any portion of its components shall not be permitted. The physical requirements of the Main Line rope are listed in table White Nylon extraction loops rope & Black Nylon Safety line (M/P Type 2, Type 4 and Type 5E): The rope shall be constructed of eight strands arranged in four pairs, where one individual strand shall be laid adjacent to the second strand in each pair and shall conform to the requirements specified herein and in table I. Individual strands shall be made of one size of balanced 3-ply yarns and shall have equal numbers of plied yarns. The singles yarn shall be 4000 to denier. The rope shall be constructed without knots or splices in the singles yarn, 3-ply yarns, strands, or rope. Knots in the single filaments are acceptable. In the preparation of the constituent rope strands, the pattern SZS twist shall be employed in the twisting of the singles yarns, the 3-ply yarns and the individual strands of two pairs, while the components of the remaining pairs shall be twisted in the ZSZ pattern. The finished rope shall be so constructed that in the interweaving procedure, pairs of strands of the former structure shall be twisted in the Z direction, while alternating pairs of the latter structure shall be twisted simultaneously in the S direction. The finished rope shall be heat set. Dry heat setting is prohibited. Cedar Park, T 78613

7 7.0 INSPECTION and MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 7.1 Suggested Inspection Procedures: Examine the main line for any visual defects. If possible, lay out the entire length of line for inspection. Minor defects may be acceptable at the discretion of the inspector. Critical defects require repair and/or replacement as recommended by the manufacturer.

8 7.2 Suggested Maintenance: During routine inspection the following repairs can be performed. Safety Cable eye splice may be repaired by replacement of swag block by any qualified rigging shop. The swag block should be equal in quality to the original, Nicropress Oval Sleeve No VP for 3/16" Stainless Steel Cable. Loose screws may be tightened by the user. Be sure to use the proper equipment and lock threads with a thread locking compound equal to Loctite 262 HIGH STRENGTH THREADLOCKER, P/N Loose whipped ends on lines may be re-whipped by a qualified rope splicer. ALL OTHER REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER 7.3 Storage Procedures: If the line is wet, hang the line full length and allow drying before storage. Seawater will not harm the fiber, but the line should not be stored wet. Clean the line with an artificial or natural hair bristle brush only. Do not use cleaning fluids or water. Coil the line using no less than an 18 inch coil. Store the line in a dry area and not in contact with the ground. If the line is not used for an extended length of time, after 6 months of storage uncoil the line and allow the line to hang full length for 24 hours. Cedar Park, T 78613
