The Pig Ear Guy Attachment is a hardware component for securing guy wires to utility poles. Fabricated from AISI 1018 steel with hot-dip galvanized coating per ASTM standards, it resists corrosion and weathering. The integrated loop mechanism enables direct dead-end wire connections without additional hardware, secured by a single machine bolt to the pole.
Standard models feature dimensions of 2 inches by 3/16 inches with an 11/16-inch mounting hole for compatibility with standard machine bolts. Ultimate strength reaches 19,000 pounds at 45-degree pull angles. Weight typically ranges from 0.6 to 0.81 pounds per unit. The anti-creep design prevents downward guy wire movement, maintaining optimal positioning under load in wrapped guy applications.
Installation requires only a single bolt fastened through the attachment to the pole, with the guy wire’s dead-end threaded through the loop. Positioning the hook under the bolt head maximizes shear strength and load distribution. This configuration supports reliable dead-end connections for utility and telecommunications infrastructure, delivering economical and stable pole guying without complex hardware or procedures.
