The Coated Dead End is a termination device that slides directly over conductors jacketed with neoprene, polyethylene, vinyl, or rubber\u2014eliminating the need to remove the plastic covering. It works with both aluminum and copper conductors in right-hand or left-hand lay configurations, applying low radial pressure to prevent jacket damage during installation and service.<\/p>\n

Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy wire with sub-setted rods bonded together with neoprene, the Coated Dead End maintains consistent low radial pressure while resisting corrosion through its protective coating. When tested under static tension at two inches per minute, it holds the full rated breaking strength of all-aluminum and copper conductors with neoprene or medium-density polyethylene jackets. For ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) conductors, holding strength approximates the aluminum strands plus ten percent of the steel core strength. Under sustained 24-hour loading, values typically range from 500 to over 1,000 pounds depending on application.<\/p>\n

The product is not recommended for fabric braided conductors or high-temperature, low-sag types such as ACSS (Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported), ACSS\/AW, ACSS\/TW, or ACCR (Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced). Available in diameters from 0.243 to 1.550 inches with color-coded identifiers, it suits overhead line terminations, distribution systems, substation feeders, and industrial service drops.<\/p>\n

Installation requires sliding the device over the conductor and using compression tools to achieve proper holding strength. Special features include maintaining the plastic jacket intact during tapping, allowing connectors to be applied to the continued tail with minimal stripping and reduced corrosion exposure.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
