3. Have the heat number and manufacturer's identifying mark stamped on the end surface
Disc springs must be made from steel complying with ASTM A684/A684M, Grade 1075.
Turnbuckles must be steel pipe type. Pulls for turnbuckles must consist of a swaged fitting and stud assembly.
Steel parts must comply with ASTM A36/A36M or A576, Grade 1030 (AISI 1030) and must not be rimmed or capped steel.

Concrete for filling cable drum units must either (1) comply with the specifications for minor concrete or (2) be a concrete mix with a 3/8-inch maximum combined aggregate grading and at least 675 pounds of cementitious material per cubic yard.
Elastomeric bearing pads must comply with section 51-3.02 except pads may consist of only elastomer and laminated reinforcement is not required.
PVC must be commercial quality.
Bond breaker on PVC pipe must be a mortar-tight wrapping of plastic or rubber sheet at least 0.010 inch thick.
Expanded polystyrene and hardboard must comply with section 51-2.01B(1).
Neoprene sheets must comply with the specifications for neoprene in section 51-2.04. The sheets must be smooth, free from pinholes and surface blemishes, and show no evidence of delamination.
Closed-cell expanded neoprene material must be commercial quality and comply with the stiffness requirements in ASTM D1056 for Class SC, Grade SCE43 material or firmer.

60-4.09B(2)(c) Fabrication 60-4.09B(2)(c)(i) General
You are responsible for determining the required lengths of cable-type restrainers.
Each swaged fitting, turnbuckle, stud, and nut assembly must develop the specified breaking strength of the cable.
Machine the wall of the reduced section of the cable yield indicator such that the indicator yields at a load of from 36,000 to 38,000 pounds when tested in compression along the major axis at a test speed of at most 1/2 inch/minute.
Clean and paint disc springs the described color using a paint recommended by the manufacturer of the disc springs. Disc springs do not need to be galvanized.
The minimum size of fillet welds must comply with AWS D1.1 except as follows:
Minimum Fillet Weld Sizes

You may drill holes in steel parts after galvanizing if you repair the holes as specified for repairing damaged galvanized surfaces in section 75-1.02B.
The finish coat must match color no. 26373 of FED-STD-595.
Securely wrap each free end of restrainer-unit cables to prevent separation.

Bar-type restrainers consist of HS bars, bearing plates, couplers, anchorage devices, and incidentals.
You must determine the required length of each bar-type restrainer.
Bar-type restrainers must comply with the specifications for bar prestressing steel in section 50.
Each anchorage device and coupler must develop the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength of the steel bar and include locking devices to prevent turning or loosening.
Bearing plates must comply with ASTM A36/A36M.
Elastomeric bearing pads must comply with section 51-3.02 and must be bonded to bearing plates with adhesive complying with Federal Specification MMM-A-121.

Pipe-type restrainers consist of double extra-strong steel pipe and associated hardware.
Double extra-strong pipe for pipe-type restrainers must comply with ASTM A53/A53M, Grade B.
Grout for bonding the pipe to the existing concrete must comply with section 60-4.06B(2).
60-4.09C(1) General
Place new concrete adjacent to restrainers before installing them.
Where removing and replacing restrainers, remove at most 50 percent of the restrainers at any joint and replace them with an equal proportion of new restrainers before subsequent removal activities. Perform all removal and replacement symmetrically about the centerline of the existing bridge.
If paint removal or welding at connections to existing steel is not described at restrainer locations, wash loose dirt and dust from existing contact surfaces of HS bolted connections without disturbing the existing paint. Clean and paint existing contact surfaces of HS bolted connections that contain rust, loose paint, or other foreign substances other than dirt and dust. Cleaning and painting existing contact surfaces is change order work.
Repair painted areas of existing structural steel damaged (1) by your operations or (2) from drilling holes through existing steel members. Repairing painted areas must comply with the specifications for repairing damaged galvanized surfaces in section 75-1.02B.

1. SSPC-QP 1, SSPC-QP 2, and AISC-420-10/SSPC-QP3 certifications are not required
2. Blast-cleaned surfaces require only a single undercoat of inorganic zinc primer
60-4.09C(4) Pipe Type Restrainers
