PLP Dead-End String Assemblies hold the conductor tension and are designed to accommodate up to 95% of the conductor’s rated tensile load. The general designs given may be modified based on insulator strength and overall length requirements. A variety of tension adjustment devices are also available to accommodate changes in conductor tension.

  • All items will arrive in one weather-resistant crate, so all string parts will be delivered at the same time.
  • String Assemblies are packaged and marked by string or tower for easy field identification, to minimize handling, and to expedite string installation.
  • The number of assemblies per crate can be modified based on customer requirements.
  • The catalog numbers provided represent commonly used string configurations. Please contact a PLP sales representative if you are interested in design modifications, or creation of an assembly to your specification.

 

Important Notes:

  • Catalog numbers for assemblies are provided as design examples only. Specific assembly designs and part numbers will be configured per customer specifications. Please contact PLP Technical Support for project-specific part numbers.

  • All galvanizing has been performed per ASTM A153. Parts are available with Charpy compliance, magnetic particle inspection, and radiographic inspections as specified. Please contact PLP for details.

  • Parts with length "XX" are variable length and dependent on the string design and line parameters.

     

  • Suspension clamps and associated hardware will be specified on a per-application basis. Please see the Suspension and Support catalog for options and details.

  • Compression Dead-End Assemblies and associated hardware to be specified on a per-application basis.

  • Corona rings, when required, are packaged separately to avoid damage.

  • Please see the individual component drawings for detailed dimensions and material properties of parts.

  • For bundle spacings differing from examples shown, please contact PLP.
