Deadend Tee
The Deadend Tee is a robust high-tension guy attachment designed for secure connections in pole line hardware systems. It is primarily used on poles, crossarms, or bracing to connect clevises, shackles, insulators, and other attachment hardware. This product is essential for dead-ending conductor and guy wires in utility and communication applications.
Constructed from forged steel and hot-dip galvanized to meet ASTM A153 standards, the Deadend Tee ensures maximum durability and corrosion resistance. With a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 60,000 lbs., it provides reliable performance in demanding environments.
To use the Deadend Tee effectively, it must be paired with compatible hardware such as Thimbleye bolts, ovaleye bolts, eyenuts, and guy markers. These components work together to create a secure and efficient system for managing tension in guy wires or conductors.
The structure of the Deadend Tee includes a chamfered stem hole for easy installation and enhanced stability. Its versatility allows it to be used with multiple types of poles and crossarms. Available in different sizes, this product can adapt to various load requirements while maintaining its high-strength capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Deadend Tee used for?
Deadend Tees are high-tension attachments used on poles, crossarms, or bracing to connect clevises, shackles, insulators, and other hardware. They serve as interfaces for deadending conductor and guy wires in utility and communication applications.
How are Deadend Tees installed?
Deadend Tees are typically installed using bolts and other hardware like thimble clevises. They are designed for easy installation without requiring specialized tools, ensuring secure connections for high-strength applications.
What materials are Deadend Tees made from?
Deadend Tees are commonly made of galvanized steel or other durable materials to ensure longevity and resistance to environmental factors. These materials meet industry standards for strength and corrosion resistance.
Can Deadend Tees handle high loads?
Yes, Deadend Tees are engineered to handle high loads. For example, some models have an ultimate strength of up to 60,000 pounds, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications like guying multiple pole structures or transmission towers.
What hardware is compatible with Deadend Tees?
Deadend Tees are compatible with a range of hardware, including thimble clevises, ovaleye bolts, banding straps, eyenuts, and guy markers. These components enhance their functionality in deadending applications.
Are Deadend Tees suitable for all strand types?
Yes, many Deadend Tees are designed for use with various strand types, such as Extra High Strength (EHS), Siemens-Martin, Utility Grade strands, and more. They can hold the full-rated strength of the strand they are applied to.
What is the recommended bolt size for mounting Deadend Tees?
The bolt size required varies depending on the specific model of the Deadend Tee. Common sizes include 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch bolts with cotter pins or square nuts for secure attachment.
How do I choose the right Deadend Tee for my application?
When selecting a Deadend Tee, consider factors such as load capacity, strand type compatibility, mounting requirements (flat back or curved base), material specifications (galvanized steel or other coatings), and compliance with industry standards.
