Socket Y-Clevis connects yoke plates or associated hardware to ball and socket insulators in electrical transmission and distribution systems. The bent bolt in the Y-section provides an additional articulation point within an assembly, enhancing flexibility in insulator string configurations for overhead line applications.
The body is constructed from galvanized ductile iron or forged steel with hot dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. Hardware elements include a galvanized steel clevis pin and stainless steel cotter pin, ensuring longevity in outdoor environments. Ultimate strength ratings range from 30,000 to 66,000 pounds depending on the model and insulator class compatibility, including ANSI 52-3, 52-5, and IEC standards.
Dimensional characteristics vary by model, with coupling lengths typically around 2.75 inches and widths up to 2.75 inches. Weights range from approximately 1.90 to over 4 pounds. Specific configurations include throat diameters and measurements tailored to fit standard ball and socket insulators, ensuring proper integration into assembly setups.
Socket Y-Clevis units are deployed in transmission and overhead power lines, connecting ball and socket insulators to tension clamps, yoke plates, or other hardware. Certain versions accommodate hot line tools and facilitate electrical isolation and mechanical support in utility infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
What is a Socket Y-Clevis used for?
Socket Y-Clevises connect yoke plates or associated hardware to ball and socket insulators. The bent bolt in the Y-section provides an additional point of articulation within an assembly.
What materials and design features ensure durability?
The body is made of galvanized ductile iron or forged steel, with clevis pins of galvanized steel and cotter pins of stainless steel. Hot-dip galvanizing provides superior corrosion resistance. Hot Line versions include shoulders for hot line tool accommodation, while all models offer high strength-to-weight ratios and are designed for easy installation and long-term performance in harsh environments.
Which insulator classes are Socket Y-Clevises compatible with?
They are compatible with ANSI 52-3, 52-5, 52-8, 52-11, and IEC standards such as 16mm, 20mm, and 24mm. ANSI 52-5 and IEC 16mm are generally interchangeable.
What types and strength ratings are available?
Standard and Hot Line versions are available with various catalog numbers and dimensions. Minimum ultimate loads range from 30,000 lbs to 66,000 lbs for standard versions, and up to 160,000 lbs for specific types. Hot Line versions offer ratings like 30,000 lbs and 50,000 lbs, with short coupling versions also available.
