PLP Tangent Suspension String Assemblies support the conductor as it runs tangent to the structure. I-String or V-String configurations can be designed to accommodate specified insulator strength, bundling configuration, bundle spacing, and other features.

  • 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.
