INSULIGN® Polymer Insulator - Vise Top Pin Type

The Patented INSULIGN Vise Top Pin Type Polymer Insulator utilizes a unique plastic clamp mechanism and nylon torque bolts to secure the conductor. The nylon torque bolt with a break-away ring is designed to ensure that the optimal holding force is applied while providing for fast conductor clamping.

Specific conductor defined inserts are offered for aluminum, copper, and jacketed conductors. PLP also offers patented universal inserts and ceramic inserts which are compatible with all bare conductors. The INSULIGN Vise Top Polymer Insulators meet the electrical and mechanical requirements as defined in ANSI C29.5 and ANSI C29.6 standards of Classes 55-3, 55-4, 55-5, 55-6, 55-7, and 57-1 and they also meet the electrical and mechanical requirements defined in the new ANSI C29.15 standard for polyethylene tie top pin type insulators.

It is recommended that the utility determines the suitability of the Vise Top Polymer Insulator for their application before installation.
