All the hardware you need to get the job done! We have put together a compelete package which includes all the pole line hardware needed to complete an average mile required for aerial construction. An average mile is based on 40 poles per mile. Please consult your strand map for actual bill of materials.

The .038 Type 302 Lashing Wire features:
The .038 Type 302 Lashing Wire is an austenitic non-magnetic and thermally non-hardening stainless steel. Corrosion and oxidation resistance is provided by 18-20% ...
(5) Straight style thimble eye bolts which are used for attaching guys and deadends to poles and crossarms, eliminating the need for timbles, strain plates, guy hooks, and extra strand. 5/8 inch Bolt Diameter and hot dipped and galvanized.
Used in aerial construction at the mid-span to clamp two 1/4" strands together perpendicularly. Crossover plates are tapped to eliminate the handling of loose nuts.
Stamped from AISI 1008 Steel.
Supplied with two 3/8" x 1" Hex Bolts.
All components are mechanically galvanized to meet ASTM Specification B695, Class 50, Type 1.
Cable suspension clamps are used with through bolts, which serve as a clamping members and are shaped to securely grip messenger wire to the pole. A nut and washer is used between the clamp and the pole to provide proper spacing.
Angle suspension clamps have curved ends to prevent damage to the messenger strand when turning smallangles. All clamps firmly grip 1/4 to 7/16 inch diameter strand. They are furnished with two track bolts and a center mounting hole.
(2) Auto Standlinks can be interchanged with standard Guy Dead-Ends while Auto Dead-Ends can be interchanged with False Dead-Ends for securing guy wire to poles, building or other aerial applications.
(2) Guy Dead Ends, installed at the top, the breaker and the anchor, provide today?s most effective method for securing guy strand. This unique, one-piece deadend is neat in appearance and free from bolts or high-stress holding devices. Guy Dead Ends are made from the same material as the strand, they will hold the same published rated breaking strength.
False Dead-ends are a fast, safe, and economical method for false dead-ending strand. They are easily applied without any special tools, and because False Dead-ends are made from the same material as the strand, they will hold the same published rated breaking strength.
Strand Splices are used to repair strand or messenger simply and economically.All applications can be checked visually - no guess work involved. Because of its superior design, the Strand Splice provides maximum strength and excellent fatigue characteristics resulting in longer life for both strand and messenger.
Square nuts have always been considered the safest to use by utility linemen because of their large wrenching sufrace. They are used on all types of threaded bolts and insulator pins.
J hooks designed for supporting bail type drop wire and deadend clamps from poles and crossarms. This hook features a rolled fetter drive threads and a pilot point for easy starting.
(2) Wall straps are used for guying and deadending messenger strand to building walls. This wall strap can also be used to terminate strand at a right angle to the building to the building wall. The wire rope thimble is reccomended to protect the strand.
Guy Attachment Straps provide an economical and efficient means of fastening guys to poles. Well rounded wire grooves protect the strand from damage.
The formed steel style guy attachments feature a closed strand loop when mounted. The ears of the malleable guy attachments will accommodate any type of guy loop or clamp bail. The lower mounting hole is for a 1/2" lag screw.
Note: Wherever possible, installation should be made under the head of a machine bolt; when used under the nut, the htreaded portion of the bolt is subject to stress, thus reducing strength.
(3) Auxiliary eye clamp permits an efficient method of adding an eye to an existing anchor rod for attaching an additional guy. The eye has a generous 1.5 inch diameter thimble. The clamps are rated to 18,000 lbs.
Guy markers can be used where anchor guys are exposed to pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Guy markers retain good physical characteristics, with a range of extreme temperatures athat are self-extinguishing when exposed to fire.
Guy markers offer several advantages:
The O.D. of applied dead-ends is not a factor in product selection.
Wide combination of strands ( range 3/16" - 1/2") can be accomodated by one size Guy Marker.
It can be installed quickly without bolts or metal parts.
(14) Aerial Support Spacer ties are molded from special high impact nylon, and the spacers are in a high density outdoor black polyproylene to resist the harsh effects of sunlight, saltwater and harsh chemical environments. The one-piece ties are pre-grouped in handy multiples of 5 to save installation time.
The ground rod is the most widely used grounding electrode. Copperbonded ground rods have properties which make them particularly well suited as driven ground electrodes. They are protected against corrosion by a copper jacket that is bonded to the high strength steel core.
These Bronze Ground Rod Clamps, used with copperbound ground rods, provide a low resistance and secure copper-to-copper connection. These heavy-duty clamps develop a high-pressure contact between the rod and the grounding wire and can be easily disconnected when it is desired to measure resistance of the ground.
The assembly consists of 2 clamp sections and a 5/16 x 7/8-inch bronze hex washer head bolt. On clamp section is tapped to allow installation with a single wrench.
