Top ties

FUNCTION

Distribution ties are designed for securing conductors in the top groove of rigid insulators

vertically mounted.This specific distribution tie provides perfect resistance to mechanical

strain under all types of motion including aeolian vibration, galloping and sway.

Distribution tie design takes into account a tie pad to protect the bare conductor from

abrasion at the conductor insulator interface.

Tie pads are not required with jacketed conductors.

This product is manufactured with the same grade material| as the conductor to which it is

applied.

MECHANICAL STRENGTH

Distribution ties have a slip load exceeding 3.5kN in unbalanced load conditions. This

strength is usually sufficient to contain a broken conductor to a single span.

NOTE

The lay direction of distribution ties must be the same as that of the outer stranding of the

conductor to which it is applied.
