The Guy Adapter is a one-piece double or triple eye adapter for use with 1-1/2 inch Round Cornered Square (RCS) shaft helical anchors and 1-1/4 inch round power shaft screw anchors. This patent pending component terminates guy wire systems, enabling direct connections without additional adapters during tensioning. Constructed from hot dipped galvanized steel per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A153 or A123 standards, it provides corrosion resistance across environmental conditions.
The adapter features forged fittings on both ends and a forged integral pulling eye for direct attachment of tensioning devices. A high-strength bolt and nut enable straightforward assembly within anchor systems. The adapter body delivers 70,000 pounds ultimate tensile strength, while the integral lifting eye is rated for 12,000 pounds ultimate tension strength.
Measuring 18 inches long (approximately 18 inches by 3.5 inches by 3 inches) and weighing 9.565 pounds, the adapter accommodates standard shaft sizes and integrates into helical anchor assemblies for utility, telecommunications, and tower foundations. Installation requires alignment within 5 degrees of the guy load direction to maintain rated strength. The pulling eye is designated for tensioning devices only; guy wires should not attach directly to this eye.
