Shield Wire Support Bracket
Shield Wire Support brackets are specialized hardware components designed to secure static wires on transmission structures and utility poles. These brackets integrate seamlessly with suspension clamps and feature welded curved load plates connected to sturdy rods. The support system comes in one-bolt and two-bolt designs, accommodating pole diameters ranging from 8 to 16 inches.
In transmission line applications, Shield Wire Support brackets ensure reliable mounting through their unitized assembly design. They incorporate a cone point bolt system that simplifies wood pole installation, while the adjustable back plate ensures proper fitting across various pole diameters. The support’s construction includes curved load plates measuring 1/4″ x 2-1/2″ x 7″, providing maximum strength and stability during operation.
The Shield Wire Support system is manufactured using low and medium carbon steel with galvanized coating compliant with ASTM A-153 standards. These brackets demonstrate impressive strength capabilities, featuring minimum ultimate vertical loads of up to 5,000 pounds for single-bolt designs. The SF-SWS series includes welded washers and forged steel construction for enhanced durability.
