The Straight Line Deadend supports and secures conductors in overhead power distribution and light transmission networks, maintaining proper positioning and providing reliable termination points. Constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy or aluminum-bronze alloy bodies with galvanized steel hardware, it delivers anti-corrosion properties and durability, with hot-dip galvanized coatings available for enhanced protection.
Ultimate body strength ratings range from 6,000 to 15,000 pounds depending on model. The side-opening, swing-away design with spring-loaded mechanism ensures consistent pressure distribution and simplified installation. Compatible conductor diameters span 0.19 to 1.55 inches, accommodating All Aluminum Conductor (AAC), All Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAAC), Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR), and copper conductors. U-bolts typically measure 1/2-inch diameter, with unit weights ranging from 1.2 to 4.4 pounds.
Installation features include spring-loaded vertical keeper and U-bolt arrangements for easy mounting using hand or hydraulic tools. Recommended torque of 40-45 ft-lbs for 1/2-inch bolts ensures secure conductor fixation. The clamps comply with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A153 for galvanized coatings, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B1.1 for screw threads, and Rural Utilities Service (RUS) listing requirements.
