Short answer: stay wire and guy wire hardware should be selected by wire diameter, tensile strength, pole load, anchor type, clamp type, galvanizing standard and installation environment.
| Stay wire or guy wire | Confirm strand structure, diameter, tensile grade and galvanizing requirement. |
|---|---|
| Guy grip or dead end | Used to terminate stay wire. Match wire diameter and holding strength. |
| Anchor rod and plate | Used for ground anchoring. Confirm soil condition, rod length and load requirement. |
| Turnbuckle and thimble | Used for tension adjustment and eye protection. Confirm size and hot-dip galvanizing. |
Guy wire hardware should be quoted as a matched set. Mixing wire, grip, anchor and turnbuckle sizes can create installation failure.
