The deadend clevis, also called Secondary Clevis, provides a secure attachment point for spool insulators, conductors, and guy wires in overhead power line systems. It manages tension and alignment at dead-end, tangent, or corner positions on utility poles and structures. The component includes a bolt, nut, and cotter pin assembly for installation.
Applications include low-voltage dead-end configurations, overhead wire setups, and corner structures in both triplex and open wire circuits. The clevis enables dead-ending of conductors and guy wires while providing clearance for mounting equipment. Extension links can be used with the clevis for offset requirements.
Construction features hot dip galvanized steel complying with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A-153 specifications for corrosion resistance. The clevis is engineered from high-quality steel channels or flat bars. Key specifications include a 5/8 inch clevis pin diameter with self-locking cotter pin, mounting holes for 5/8 inch bolts (often slotted for installation without insulator removal), and ultimate strength ratings of 1800 to 3000 pounds. Opening sizes range from 5/8 inch to 3-1/4 inches to accommodate different insulator types.
Products comply with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C135.20 and ASTM A-153 standards, with select models featuring Rural Utilities Service (RUS) approval or Buy America qualification. Typical dimensions include lengths of 4 to 5 inches, heights around 3.50 to 3.75 inches, and weights from 0.89 to 2 pounds.
Deadend Clevis Wholesaler with Over 21 Years of Experience
RaxPower is engaged in providing Deadend Clevis to our customers. This product is utilized in overhead power line construction to secure the end of a guy wire to a utility pole or other structure, providing a strong and secure connection that prevents the wire from becoming dislodged or breaking under tension.
Dedicated to designing and manufacturing in compliance with applicable electric utility and communications industry standards, our Deadend Clevis is made from hot-dip galvanized steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and enhanced strength. The use of hot forging technology, a sophisticated process in our manufacturing, makes it much heavier and stronger than similar brackets.
Features include a 5/8″ cotter bolt and slotted mounting holes for easy installation without removing insulators. Our commitment to quality is backed by over 21 years of experience, with strict quality control measures including load testing, gauge tests per IEC 120, and galvanization following ISO 1461, with mean coating thickness exceeding 85 microns. This ensures each Deadend Clevis offers reliable performance for secure anchoring in power line systems.
