INSPECTION NOTICE:
Drenaline spLIFE termination (all lengths)
Notification Date: 06/04/2023
Recognising that splices manufactured without visible whipping are currently available in the marketplace, the intent of this notice is to inform and reiterate the importance of the visible whipping for the Drenaline spLIFE termination.
As the spLIFE termination is loaded, the whipping ensures the end of the rope is held in place in the bury until enough of the load is applied to the rope.
Inspection Method
Please follow the inspection guidelines outlined in the user documentation supplied with the spLIFE termination. The user documentation can also be referenced online at www.teufelberger.com
Drenaline spLIFE with whipping missing.
Drenaline spLIFE with whipping present.
Inspect the spLIFE for the presence of the manufacturer’s whipping. If the whipping is missing or damaged, it MUST be taken out of service immediately.
Regardless of the amount of use if the whipping is missing or damaged, it is beyond its service life and MUST be retired. Do not use it without whipping!
