Short answer: overhead line construction hardware should be selected by voltage class, conductor type, mechanical load, pole or tower interface, insulator connection and galvanizing requirement.
| Suspension set | Used on straight or small-angle supports. Confirm conductor size, clamp type and insulator fitting. |
|---|---|
| Tension set | Used at dead-end and angle positions. Confirm rated tensile load and conductor compatibility. |
| Crossarm and bracket | Match pole type, hole spacing, bolt size, line angle and load. |
| Guying hardware | Include stay wire, guy grip, anchor rod, thimble, turnbuckle and clamps as a matched set. |
Overhead line hardware should be quoted by construction position and load, not by a short product name only.
