The Guard Arm Brace provides light duty support and stability for crossarms in telecommunications and power construction by bracing the crossarm against the pole. Manufactured from high strength American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1040 Steel, the brace receives hot-dip galvanization for corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor utility environments.
The brace measures 1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch in cross-section with a standard length of 18 inches and weighs approximately 1.65 pounds. Pre-punched holes—7/16 inch diameter at the crossarm end and 9/16 inch diameter at the pole end—accommodate standard mounting hardware for straightforward installation.
Installation requires fastening the brace to the crossarm using a 3/8-inch diameter bolt through the smaller hole, while a 1/2-inch diameter lag screw through the larger hole secures it to the pole. This mounting configuration ensures proper alignment and structural support for suspended cables or drop wires.
The product complies with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2329 for hot-dip galvanizing, which specifies coating thickness and quality requirements. Some versions may also meet ASTM A-153 standards for galvanized coatings, ensuring recognized specifications for corrosion protection and material performance in utility applications.
