Preformed Line Products SPL-1355P SPOOL TIE .358-.405 NEW
The Spool Tie is intended for use on aluminum based conductors with diameters from .190" to .968".
Interchangeable Neck-Style Insulators:
-Spool Ties listed in this section are designed to be applied to ANSI Class 53- 1, 53-2, and 53-3 spool insulators which have 1-3/4" neck diameters. Consult Preformed Line Products for specif.ics. "F" neck size Side Ties can be used for application on ANSI Class 53-4 and 53-5 which have 2-7/8" neck diameters.
-To insure proper fit and service life of the Spool Tie, it is recommended only spool insulators with uniform dimensions, as described by the latest (C29.3) ANSI standards be used. A partial listing of acceptable insulators appears on the last page of this section. Consult Preformed Line Products for applications on non-listed or non-standard insulators.
-Each Spool Tie is supplied with an elastomeric tie tube designed to minimize abrasion to bare conductors and insulators. For application on jacketed conductors, the tube may be discarded. Spool Ties can also be applied to bare conductor without the tube where desired, although consideration of abrasion should be given.
Mechanical Strength:
-The Spool Tie is designed to provide superior mechanical strength and resiliency during conductor motion and cyclic loading conditions. Longitudinal holding strengths consistently exceed the requirements of the National Electric Safety Code. TM-168E covers the mechanical testing of the Spool Tie and is available upon request.
-The RIV/TVI characteristics of Spool Ties are equivalent to those of a well made hand tie as originally installed. The precontoured loop and formed legs of the Spool Tie assure continued fit, which provide better RIV/TVI performance than a loosened tie wire.
Vibration Dampers:
-The Spool Tie is designed to outperform the hand tie during conductor motion activity, such as aeolian vibration and galloping. However, on some lines, the use of dampers may be necessary to prevent damage. Utilities that have experienced conductor motion or expect to, should consider adding dampers. Consult PLP® for general guidelines and advice concerning conductor motion and dampers. Also consult the Motion Control catalog section.
