Thimble clevises are interface fittings that attach guy wires, conductors, wire grips, or dead-end bails to eye-type fittings on insulators, eyebolts, and pole eye plates in overhead electrical systems. They provide a smooth internal contour that prevents stress concentration within preformed dead-end loops, distributing forces during tensioning and deadending operations to enhance connection integrity in guying and conductor support systems.<\/p>\n

These fittings are constructed from ductile iron with hot dip galvanized coating or aluminum alloy for durability and environmental resistance. Hardware includes a galvanized steel pin and stainless steel cotter key, reducing corrosion potential for long-term performance. A generous wire seat diameter maintains the shape of cables, wire grips, or bails during use, while an integral pulling eye accommodates tensioning hooks, streamlining field installation and adjustment.<\/p>\n

A standard assembly comprises a body, steel pin passing through the insulator eye, and humpbacked cotter key for secure fastening. This configuration allows straightforward assembly and disassembly, with the pin and cotter key serving as primary removable components. Thimble clevises work with preformed dead-ends, distribution grips, and overhead dead-ends, supporting conductor sizes up to 0.783 inches in normal and light duty applications.<\/p>\n

Specific series like TC-17 accommodate various distribution grips and dead-ends, while PCTF and PCTA series feature 1.5-inch wire seat diameters for normal duty applications. Formed steel variants with galvanized coating offer economical solutions for light duty scenarios where corrosion potential is lower.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
