Can you give some more information; lbs hanging, amount of wrap (exact dimensions), wrapped girth measurement, distance between hex nuts, etc. Then also, what exactly happened with the test? At what point in the test are you gettng the purple color and reduced temp. Does it occur with the hanger on and no weight? Is the hanger sliding down?
This is happening with the hanger on and NO weight. It takes only 4-5 minutes for the color and coolness to start. My flacid wraped girth is 4 1/2 inches. What happened is I wrapped and attached hanger as requested and waited (no weights) and the temp and color became an issue. I rewrapped more loosely and same thing happened repeatedly. The hanger was not sliding at all. The wrap is coach wrap (2 in. wide) 18 inches long.
>The settings on the hanger are just as you recommended.<
I don't know what that means.
The front hex nut is 3/16 space between and the back one is 1/4 in between.
>Is it just natural for some to get that color?<
I have not heard of it being a problem until very recently with a couple of guys. Some darkening at higher weights is normal, but there should not be a big drop in temp.
>The color and coldness were not quiet as bad when hanging BTC, but with the upper angles it is dark purple and ice cold. It only takes a couple of minutes and I have to take the hanger off. <
You mean 2-3 minutes? That is very abnormal. Do you have any circulation problems or other health problems?
Yes 2-3 minutes. I have malignant hypertension. Not uncommon for BP to run 180-200/120-140. Currently it is like 150/105. Have had this problem since I was 13 years old.
>s there anything else to try? Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking your hanger. I think its terrific, but this is very frustrating.<
There are many many things to try. As far as I know, we are just getting started. Answer the questions above with as much detail as possible, and we can get it worked out.
