The Guy Clamp secures down guys and wire rope in utility and construction applications, forming loops for attachment to anchor rods or dead-ends. It provides additional support and structural stability in overhead line systems for communication and transmission lines.
The clamp is constructed from high-quality carbon steel or malleable iron with straight parallel grooves that prevent strand damage during installation and use. Clamping bolts feature special shoulders to prevent turning when nuts are tightened, ensuring secure fastening. All components are hot-dip galvanized in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specification A153, providing resistance to moisture, corrosion, and environmental factors.
Available configurations include models with one, two, or three bolts, with diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch. Clamp lengths vary from 1-1/2 inches to 6 inches, and widths from 1-9/16 inches to 1-21/32 inches, accommodating strand diameters from 3/16 inch to 1/2 inch. Some variants are Rural Utilities Service (RUS) listed and meet industry standards, including a minimum breaking strength requirement of 18,000 pounds for specific applications.
