Aerial Messenger Cable Clamp
The Aerial Messenger Cable Clamp with Hook serves as a vital component for tangent construction applications, supporting figure-8 cables on utility poles. Made from ductile iron casting with AISI 1018 steel stamping, these clamps accommodate 1/4-inch insulated messenger wire. The hook design enhances safety during installation while facilitating efficient cable stringing operations.
Aerial Messenger Cable Clampps feature a curved groove design that enables both corner and straight-line installations up to 10 degrees. The clamp surface extends 3-1/4 inches, making them suitable for heavier construction requirements. The independent mounting system allows the pole-mounted casting to be installed separately from the mating component, ensuring secure messenger capture and maintaining tight connections even with wood pole shrinkage.
Features:
• Curved messenger groove with specially designed lip for enhanced cable support during installation
• Independent clamping mechanism maintains tension despite pole shrinkage
• Hook component provides safety reinforcement and assists in stringing operations
• Body tapped for 5/8-inch bolt with nut retainer cast into clamp body
• Belled groove ends accommodate both angle and tangent installations with improved stability
