What is the small hole on a swaged turnbuckle for?
- To check for moisture deposits.
- To check if correct amount of cable has been inserted before swaging.
- To alloy the turnbuckle to be wire locked.
Explanation
The small hole in a swaged turnbuckle end fitting lets the inspector confirm the cable has been pushed fully home so the correct length is engaged before the fitting is swaged. Seeing the cable end at the hole proves enough cable is inserted; the hole is not for moisture checks or lockwiring.
