Adjustable Guy Deadends enable tension adjustment on transmission, tower, antenna, and communications structures without requiring a turnbuckle. The housing, wedge, and rod design holds 100% of the guy strand’s rated breaking load across sizes from 7/16 inch (20,800 lbs breaking load) to 1.78 inches (295,500 lbs breaking load). The Gen2 version eliminates conformal castings, reducing weight while maintaining strength.
Material compatibility is critical—aluminum-clad steel rods match aluminum-clad steel guy strand to ensure durability and performance. Adjustable Guy Deadends are not acceptable for wire rope applications. The retaining rod material must align with the specific guy strand material to maintain integrity under load.
Installation requires maintaining guy strand tension at minimum 10% of the strand’s rated breaking strength, both during installation and in service. Protective coatings on hardware, rods, and fittings must not be damaged. Do not use deadends as come-alongs or pulling-grips. Lubricate threads with anti-seize compound and use torque measurements on hex nuts for accurate tension assessment. When attaching to a pin or linkage, verify minimum and maximum diameter specifications to ensure proper U-Bolt support, and position spacer bars and hex nuts as close as possible to the interior radius of the U-Bolt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
What is the rated holding strength of the Adjustable Guy Deadend?
RaxPower's Adjustable Guy Deadends are designed to provide a holding strength of 100% of the strand's rated breaking load, ensuring they can withstand maximum loads without failure. This reliability is supported by strict quality control measures, including multi-stage testing and inspections to guarantee consistent performance.
What materials are used in the Adjustable Guy Deadend components?
The retaining rods are made from material compatible with the guy strand material, such as aluminum-clad steel rods for aluminum-clad steel guy strand. The deadends are designed for specific strand materials and are not acceptable for use on wire rope applications. RaxPower ensures optimal compatibility and performance through rigorous material selection, detailed installation guidelines, and comprehensive quality testing aligned with industry standards.
What strand sizes is the Adjustable Guy Deadend compatible with?
The Adjustable Guy Deadend is available for strands from 7/16 (20,800#) to 1.78 (295,500#) in diameter, with various take-up U-Bolt options. Our extensive product catalog and efficient manufacturing processes enable us to meet bulk orders and diverse needs, from utility expansions to renewable energy projects.
How do I properly install the Adjustable Guy Deadend?
During installation, the guy strand tension should be at least 10% of the rated breaking strength of the strand. Use an anti-seize compound on the threads for accurate torque measurements and easier tightening. Do not use the deadend as a tool, such as for pulling.
How can I adjust the guy tension with the Adjustable Guy Deadend?
The high-strength U-Bolt allows for adjusting guy strand tension without the need for a turnbuckle. Tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the hex nuts. RaxPower manufactures these components with precision using advanced forging and automation technologies to ensure easy adjustment and durable performance in the field.
