The PREFORMEDTM Groove Formed Side Tie is intended to secure bare or jacketed distribution conductors in the side groove of vertically and horizontally mounted insulators. They provide an improved method of securing conductors compared to clamp-top insulators or handbinds. 

Groove formed Side Ties with pad, are recommended for use with bare conductors. The pad component is recommended because it surrounds the conductor with a resilient cushion which eliminates abrasion at the conductor-insulator interface.

The PREFORMEDTM Groove Formed Side Tie provides superior abrasion protection for the conductor under all types of motion including aeolian vibration, galloping and sway. 

The formed loop permits better utilisation of the groove space so that larger conductors can be accommodated on a given insulator.

The Groove Formed Side Tie maximises the vibration fatigue life of the conductor to the extent that its original endurance is not reduced by vibration.
