• Used as insulation between rope blocks and a hot line wire grip

• For deadend structures and running corners• Attached to conductor close to wire tong to sup-

port conductor loads• Also used to support middle conductor on H

frame structures during insulator or crossarm changes

• Replaces strain link stick when lineman cannot safely install one by hand

• A lifting eye on the head ferrule enables the line-man to guide the spiral link stick to the conductor with a hotstick

• 1-1/14" Epoxiglas pole

• For spreading and holding conductors at midspan when relocating a pole

• Applied to conductor at pole and pulled to posi-tion by hand line on butt ring

• Handline should be secured by a temporarily in-stalled screw anchor or other fixed object
