Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale

Effective October 1, 2012

Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale Effective October 1, 2012

1. APPLICABILITY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS. These Terms and Conditions will

govern all sales by Preformed Line Products Company (“PLP”) of Goods (“Goods”), unless

otherwise agreed to in writing, signed by PLP by an authorized agent in Cleveland, Ohio.

Terms and conditions contained in Buyer’s purchase order or any other documents that are

different than or in addition to these Terms and Conditions are objected to and will not be

binding on PLP. Buyer will be deemed to have agreed to these Terms and Conditions by

Buyer’s issuing a purchase order number, PLP’s receipt of a written acknowledgement of

Buyer’s placement of an order, or PLP’s commencement of performance, Buyer’s acceptance

of these Terms and Conditions will be deemed to have occurred on the date such performance

commences. PLP reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions, or issue new

terms, at any time, and all subsequent orders shall be bound thereof. If for any reason PLP’s

Quotation is deemed an acceptance of an offer made by Buyer, such acceptance is expressly

conditioned on Buyer’s assent to these Terms and Conditions, which assent will be evidenced

by the earlier of Buyer’s acceptance of Goods delivered by PLP or any other performance by

Buyer. PLP will sell Goods only if Buyer assents to these Terms and Conditions. By accepting

this Purchase Order, Buyer agrees to adhere to all laws, including but not limited to the FCPA.

2. QUOTATIONS, ORDERS AND PRICES. All prices and specifications contained on the

face of PLP’s Quotation are subject to change without notice, unless indicated otherwise on

the face of the Quotation. All quotations on PLP’s standard catalog items are made subject to

prior sale of such Goods. The minimum billing charge on any order is $500.00 plus freight,

handling and delivery charges. Any additions to orders already placed by Buyer will be

considered as new orders.

3. BROKEN PACKAGE CHARGE. A $75.00 broken package charge will be applicable to

all Goods ordered in quantities other than standard carton increments as published in PLP’s

catalogs.

4. TAXES. PLP’s prices do not include any Federal, state or local taxes or fees or any

custom, export, import, wharfage or associated dues or duties, and any such taxes or fees now

in effect or hereafter levied will be in addition to such prices and will be paid by the Buyer.

Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold PLP harmless from and against any and all such

taxes and fees, including, without limitation, any cost, expense, attorneys’ fees, interest or

penalties assessed against or incurred by PLP as a result of Buyer’s failure to pay any such

taxes or fees.

5. SHIPMENTS, FREIGHT AND DELIVERY. FORMED WIRE PRODUCTS AND OTHER

NON-CLOSURE ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES: PLP will pay freight via cheapest way to any

domestic common carrier points, excluding Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, on orders or

releases of net invoice value of $3,500 or more, specified for shipment to one location at one

time. Only the value of the Formed Wire Products and other non-closure items and

accessories applies towards the $3,500 minimum value for prepaid freight. On all other orders

or releases, Buyer is responsible for freight, handling and delivery charges.

SPLICE CASES, CLOSURES AND ACCESSORIES: PLP does not pay freight, handling and

delivery charges.

ALL PRODUCTS: Buyer will pay any special packaging, shipping and transportation charges

resulting from compliance with its request for use of a method of transportation other than the

method that PLP designates. PLP’s placement of the purchased Goods at the point of

shipment in the possession of a trucking company, railroad company or other common carrier

or on Buyer’s vehicle will constitute delivery to Buyer, and thereafter Buyer will bear all

expenses and risk of loss.

6. SHIPPING ESTIMATES. Shipping estimates made to Buyer will date from PLP’s

receipt of Buyer’s complete written instructions. Shipping date of Goods requiring Buyer’s

inspection before shipment will be extended by the time consumed by any such inspection.

7. TERMS. Net thirty (30) days from date of PLP’s invoice. A service charge of one and

one-half percent (1.5%) per month will be added to all past due invoices, not to exceed the

maximum permitted by law.

8. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

Buyer’s financial responsibility is at all times subject to approval of PLP’s Credit Department,

and PLP at any time may require payment in advance or satisfactory security or guarantee that

invoices will be paid promptly when due. If Buyer fails to comply with any terms of payment,

PLP may withhold any further deliveries or terminate this Agreement and may declare any

unpaid amount to be due and owing immediately.

9. DEVIATIONS IN AMOUNTS MANUFACTURED. Goods manufactured by PLP to meet

Buyer’s instructions, specifications or requirements are subject to a plus or minus deviation of

five percent (5%).

10. ACCEPTANCE. Buyer shall notify PLP, in writing, of any defect, error or shortage in

any Goods it received, within thirty (30) days of delivery, and such written notice must state the

applicable PLP Order Number and must be accompanied by any documents that substantiate

the alleged defect, error or shortage. If Buyer fails to provide PLP with such written notice,

documents and the applicable PLP Order Number, within the required time, Buyer will be

deemed to have waived the defect, error or shortage and to have accepted the Goods

delivered.

11. BUYER’S AGREEMENT TO DEFEND. If PLP manufactures or sells any Goods to

meet Buyer’s instructions, specifications or any other requirements, and such Goods are not

included among PLP’s standard catalog items offered by it to the trade generally in the usual

course of its business, Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold PLP harmless from and

against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, any

penalties or punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of suit) arising out of

the manufacture, sale or use of such Goods, including, without limitation, claims for actual or

alleged infringements of any United States or foreign patent or copyright, or any actual or

alleged unfair competition resulting from similarity in design, trademark or appearance.

PLP shall supply Buyer with catalogs, specifications, instructions and recommended

installation procedures pertaining to the Goods; however, Buyer alone shall be responsible for

the proper training, instruction and supervision of its contractors, employees, agents or

purchasers with respect to the safe and correct use and application of such Goods. If Buyer

uses any Goods from PLP not in accordance with PLP’s catalogs, specifications, instructions

or recommended installation procedures, Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold PLP

harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including,

without limitation, costs of suit and attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to or

resulting in any way from such use by Buyer.

12. NOTICE OF ACCIDENT OR MALFUNCTION. Buyer will notify PLP in writing, no later

than thirty (30) days from any accident or malfunction involving the Goods that result in

personal injury or damage to property, and will cooperate fully with PLP in investigating and

determining the cause of such accident or malfunction. If Buyer fails to give such written notice

or fails to so cooperate, Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold PLP harmless from and

against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, costs

of suit and attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to or resulting in any way

from such accident or malfunction.

13. TOLERANCES AND VARIATIONS. Except as specified by Buyer and agreed to in

writing by PLP, the Goods will be produced in accordance with PLP’s standard practices. All

Goods, however, including those produced to meet an exact specification, will be subject to

tolerances and variations consistent with good manufacturing practices in regard to dimension,

weight, section, composition, mechanical and electrical properties; to normal variations in

surface and internal conditions and in quality; and to deviations from tolerances and variations

consistent with practical testing and inspection methods.

14. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY. PLP warrants to Buyer that the

Goods supplied hereunder will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal

and proper usage for a period of one year from the date of shipment by PLP. The foregoing

warranty will not cover and PLP makes no warranties with respect to (i) any Goods subjected

to abuse, misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration or accident; to improper and incorrect

installation or maintenance; or to abnormal conditions of use, temperature, moisture, dirt or

corrosive matter; and (ii) any materials, parts, goods or other components that are

manufactured by an entity other than PLP.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER

WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE ARISING BY

OPERATION OF LAW, TRADE, USAGE OR COURSE OF DEALING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT

LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Buyer agrees to provide PLP with written notice of any breach of the above warranty within

thirty (30) days after Buyer discovers, or should have discovered, the alleged breach. Time is

of the essence herein, and Buyer’s failure to provide written notice to PLP within the required

time of any alleged breach of the foregoing warranty will release and discharge PLP from any

obligation or liability for that breach of warranty. The foregoing warranty extends only to Buyer

and to no other person or entity. Buyer agrees to give PLP full access to all Buyer’s relevant

records and data.

15. REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS ON REMEDIES. In the event of any material breach

of the above warranty, PLP will, at its sole option, credit Buyer’s account or repair any

defective Goods or furnish a replacement part or Goods, all subject to Buyer providing written

notice of the alleged breach within the time required.

THE REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES

AVAILABLE TO BUYER SO THAT PLP’S CREDIT OF BUYER’S ACCOUNT OR REPAIR OR

REPLACEMENT IS A FULFILLMENT OF ALL PLP’S OBLIGATIONS. PLP SHALL NOT BE

LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, NOR

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL PLP BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES BEYOND THE

PRICE OF THE GOODS PURCHASED BY BUYER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR

UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER USE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SAID LOSS, COST,

PENALTY OR DAMAGE WAS REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.

If PLP requests, the Goods alleged to be defective will be returned to PLP, at its direction and

expense, for examination. No Goods are to be returned to PLP without its prior written

authorization. If PLP discovers that any Goods so returned are not covered by the foregoing

warranty, PLP reserves the right to charge Buyer for all transportation costs and expenses

incurred by PLP in examining, processing or handling such Goods. Any controversy or claim

arising out of or relating to this contract or the breach hereof, must be commenced within two

(2) years after the cause of action has accrued.

16. DEFAULT OR DELAY. PLP will not be liable for any default or delay in the production

or delivery of any Goods when such default or delay results either directly or indirectly from: (a)

accidents to, or breakdowns or mechanical failure of, PLP’s plant machinery or equipment;

strikes or other labor troubles or labor shortages; fire; flood; wars; acts of the public enemy;

acts of God; delays by any supplier; delays in transportation or lack of transportation facilities;

embargoes; shortages of, or reductions in, energy sources; priorities, allocations, limitations,

restrictions or other acts required or requested by Federal, state or local governments, or any

subdivision, bureau or agency thereof; or (b) any other cause beyond PLP’s control.

17. CANCELLATION. Buyer cannot cancel orders for delays in delivery or other cause

until PLP has received written notification of such intention. In any event, Buyer shall be

obligated to accept and pay for any Goods previously shipped and to pay cancellation charges

based on expenses incurred or commitments made by PLP for any Goods which are in the

process of manufacture for Buyer. PLP reserves the right to apply a minimum cancellation

charge of the greater of $50.00 or 25% of the purchase price of the unshipped portion of the

order, on any orders for standard stock items Buyer cancels.

18. RETURNS. No Goods may be returned without first having secured prior written

authorization from PLP’s Cleveland, Ohio office. Only non-obsolete standard stock items in

original cartons may be returned, freight prepaid. Return requests must be initiated within one

year from date of original shipment. Such requests follow the same channels as order

placement. Returns will be subject to factory inspection for resalability and for quantity before

credit, which will be applicable to replacement or future purchases by Buyer, is issued. PLP

reserves the right to apply a minimum restocking charge of the greater of $100.00 or 30% of

the purchase price of the returned materials, plus original freight charges to all returns.

19. NOTICES. Any notice to PLP required or permitted hereunder will be deemed to have

been effectively delivered if in writing and served by personal delivery to PLP or sent by

registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (or such form of mail as may be

substituted therefor by postal authorities), postage prepaid, to PLP at the address specified on

the front page hereof and marked ATTN: Marketing Administration.

20. CONFIDENTIALITY. Buyer agrees that all information furnished by or obtained from

PLP in connection with the sale of Goods hereunder will be confidential, and Buyer agrees not

to (i) disclose any such information to any other person, or (ii) use such information for any

purpose, other than performing this contract.

21. SECURITY INTEREST. PLP retains a security interest in all Goods and all proceeds

and products thereof until all amounts due or to become due hereunder have been paid. Any

repossession and removal of Products shall be without prejudice to any of PLP’s other

remedies at law or in equity. Buyer agrees , without further consideration, at any time to do or

cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts and instruments as PLP may

reasonably request in order to perfect PLP’s security interest.

22. PATENT. PLP shall defend Buyer against any claim of infringement and shall pay any

resulting damages finally awarded, provided that (a) Buyer promptly notifies PLP in writing of

any claim, and (b) PLP has sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations.

This obligation does not apply to claims arising out of combinations of Goods with goods

provided by others, or to claims resulting from compliance of the goods with Buyer’s design or

specifications, or which Buyer assumes and shall hold PLP harmless for any claims thereof.

23. MISCELLANEOUS. The failure of either party to insist upon performance of any term

or condition herein or to exercise any right or privilege shall not thereafter waive the future

performance of such term, condition, right or privilege or of any other terms, conditions, rights

or privileges, whether of the same or similar type. The rights herein and the construction of

these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving

effect to principles of conflict of laws. These Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon and

inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Each

provision hereof shall be severable, and in the event any provision hereof is held to be contrary

to law, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby, but

shall remain in full force and effect. The paragraph headings herein are solely for the

convenience of and reference by the parties and do not constitute any part of these Terms and

Conditions. Buyer may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder without PLP’s

prior written consent.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

STRAND COMPATIBILITY: Big-Grip Dead-ends should

be used only on the size and strand for which they are

designed. They must have the same lay as the strand to

which they are applied.

When ordering Big-Grip Dead-ends, make sure to specify

the strand on which it is to be used and the strand lay.

When using types of strand and/or sizes of strand not men-

tioned in these catalog pages, consult PLP for compatible

Big-Grip Dead-end designs.

During installation and at all times, care should be taken to

avoid gouging or damaging the corrosion preventive material

of either the Big-Grip Dead-end or the strand.

Big-Grip Dead-ends must not be used as tools: that is,

come-alongs, pulling-in grips, etc.

Normally tools are not required to install Big-Grip Dead-

ends,however, a screwdriver may be used to split the legs

into subsets. When splitting the legs, do not make more

than two subsets per leg.

For hardware and hardware dimensions to be used in

conjunction with Big-Grip Dead-ends, refer to Table 1 on

the next page.

Big-Grip Dead-ends should not be used on hardware that

allows the strand to rotate or spin about its axis uncon-

trolled. Adjustable hardware, such as a turnbuckle, may

be used as long as rotational movement of the strand

is restricted. Consult PLP® for additional information

concerning adjustable hardware that can be used with

Big-Grip Dead-ends.

Hardware used in conjunction with Big-Grip Dead-ends

should have smooth contours, ample groove clearances,

acceptable diameters and sufficient strength to minimize

abrasion and fatigue of the loop area.

possible hardware and the dimensions that may be used

with Big-Grip dead-ends:

which has increased wall thickness and strength

over schedule 160 pipe, does not have a schedule

number but information can be obtained from a

pipe supplier. Thimble strengths and dimensions

can be obtained from a thimble supplier.

PLP suggests guy tensions be maintained at a minimum

of approximately 10% of the Strand's Rated Breaking

Strength (RBS).

tions, contact your PLP representative.

THIMBLE RECOMMENDATIONS

(A) Only heavy-duty type wire rope thimbles or solid

Hawser type thimbles are recommended for use

with Big-Grip Dead-ends. (Refer to Figures 4, 5,

and 6.)

(B) Heavy-duty type wire rope thimbles can collapse

when guy tensions are high. In order to support

and protect the loop area of the Big-Grip Dead-end,

special precautions are necessary.

either a Hawser type thimble (Figure 4), a large

pin inside the thimble (Figure 5), or a smaller

pin (such as a shackle pin) plus double extra

strong weight pipe or equivalent (Figure 6) is

VARI-GRIP™ Dead-end

1-12

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

VARI-GRIP Dead-ends are designed for use on Transmis-

sion, Tower and Antenna, Communications, and other types

of guyed structures that require use of large guy strand.

VARI-GRIP dead-end components such as the housing,

U-Bolt, and hex nuts allow for adjustment in guy tensions.

Where guying requirements call for strands not shown on

the catalog pages, consult PLP. VARI-GRIP Dead-ends are

available in 0" and 18" (457 mm) take-up ranges.

RATED HOLDING STRENGTH (RHS): VARI-GRIP Dead-

ends are designed to develop the maximum loads published

on the catalog pages for only those specic strands listed.

MATERIAL SELECTION: VARI-GRIP Dead-end retaining

rods are made from material compatible with the strand for

which they are designed.

U-Bolt: Galvanized Steel

Housing: Galvanized Iron

Wedges: Aluminum

Spacer Bar: Galvanized Steel (supplied with

adjustable models only, execpt

conformal casting supplied with all

models with 1-1/2 & 1-3/4 U-Bolts)

Nuts & Washers: Galvanized Steel

Retaining Rods: Galvanized Steel for Galvanized

Steel Strand, Aluminum-covered

Steel for Aluminum-covered

Steel Strand

Color Code: Identies Strand Size

NOMENCLATURE

VARI-GRIP™ Dead-end

Dead-end & Dead-end Accessories: Section

1-13

STRAND COMPATIBILITY: VARI-GRIPTM Dead-ends

should be used only on the size and strand for which they

are designed. The VARI-GRIP Dead-end Retaining Rods

MUST have the same lay direction as the strand to which

they are applied. WHEN ORDERING VARI-GRIP DEAD-

ENDS, SPECIFY THE STRAND AND THE STRAND LAY

DIRECTION ON WHICH THEY ARE TO BE USED.

When installing VARI-GRIP Dead-ends, care should be

taken not to damage the protective coatings on the hard-

ware, rods, or ttings

VARI-GRIP Dead-ends should not be used as tools; i.e.,

come-alongs, pulling-grips, etc.

Factory suggests guy tensions be maintained at a mini-

mum of approximately 10% of the Strand’s Rated Breaking

Strength (RBS).

Guy tension may be roughly determined by measuring

the torque on the hex nuts (during initial installation with

threads well lubricated). If this method is to be used, an

anti-seize compound applied liberally on the threads of the

U-Bolt and anti-tamper washers will permit more accurate

measurements.

The anti-seize compound will also make the nut tightening

procedure easier.

Consult Factory for torque/tension information or for any

unusual installations.

The spacer bar and hex nuts (supplied with the 18” take-up

model) should be installed as close to the interior radius of

the U-Bolt as possible.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

ATTACHMENT FITTINGS: When installing VARI-GRIP

Dead-ends to a pin or other linkage, refer to the table below

for minimum and maximum diameters. The minimum dimen-

sion indicates the smallest tting that will insure support

of the U-Bolt, while the maximum dimension indicates the

largest tting that will t through the U-Bolt.

Pitch Length: One complete wrap.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GUY-GRIP Dead-ends are intended for use on single wood

poles associated with distribution construction.

GUY-GRIP Dead-ends were not designed or tested for use

overhead shield wires and not intended for that application.

Refer to Big-Grip Dead-end, an alternate product

recommended for guying transmission construction, or

tower and antenna applications.

Refer to the Installation Tools section for the PREFORMED™

Pulling Eye, designed to assist application at the anchor.

RATED HOLDING STRENGTH: GUY-GRIP Dead-ends

are rated at 100% of the strand's published rated breaking

strength.

MATERIAL SELECTION: GUY-GRIP Dead-ends are

made of the same basic material as the strand to which

they are applied. This pertains to galvanized, *Bezinal®,

**Copperweld®, Aluminum clad steel, stainless Type 302,

and stainless Type 316. Any of these materials can be

selected from the catalog tables. The recommended types

of strand are also indicated.

TAPPING: GUY-GRIP Dead-ends are mechanical devices

not designed as current transfer connectors. Consequently,

NOMENCLATURE

tapping is not recommended over or through the GUY-GRIP

Dead-end.

APPLICATION-INSPECTION: Within the rst 3 months

after initial application, GUY-GRIP Dead-ends may be re-

moved and reapplied two times after initial application for

the purpose of retensioning the guy. After 3 months, a new

dead-end should be used any time removal is required.

GUY-GRIP Dead-ends should be used on hardware that is

held in a xed position; the tting should not be allowed to

rotate or spin about the axis of the strand. They should not be

used as tools, that is, come-alongs, pulling-in grips, etc.

Lay direction of both the GUY-GRIP Dead-ends and the

strand should be the same. Most strand is left-hand lay.

STRAND TAIL: For appearance and safety the strand,

tail

should be cut as close as convenient to the crossover

mark and buried inside the crossover mark if possible. If

desired,

the strand tail can, instead, extend through the

loop for grounding purposes. Any tail over 2" or 3" should

be restrained and not permitted to rotate during loading

of the guy.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

1. This product is intended for a single (one-time, perma-

nent) use and for the specied application, although it

may be reapplied twice for retensioning within 90 days

of initial installation. CAUTION: DO NOT MODIFY OR

REUSE THIS PRODUCT AFTER 90 DAYS UNDER ANY

CIRCUMSTANCES.

2. This product SHOULD NOT be used as a tool; that is as

a come-along, pulling in grips, temporary bracing, etc.

3. This product is intended for use by trained craftspeople

only. This product SHOULD NOT BE USED by anyone

who is not familiar with and trained in the use of it.

Color Code and Length: Assists in identifying the strand

size, corresponding to tabular information appearing on

catalog pages.

Identication Tape: Shows catalog number, nominal sizes.

Short Leg-Long Leg: Identies rods belonging to each

leg, after application. During application, the short leg

should be applied rst.

4. When working in the area of energized lines with this

product, EXTRA CARE should be taken to prevent

accidental electrical contact.

4. For PROPER PERFORMANCE AND PERSONAL

SAFETY be sure to select the proper size GUY-GRIP

Dead-end before application.

5. GUY-GRIP Dead-ends are precision devices. To insure

proper performance, they should be stored in cartons

under cover and handled carefully.

*Bezinal is a registered trademark of the Bekaert Corporation.

**Copperweld is a registered trademark of the Copperweld Co.

GUY-GRIP® Dead-end

HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS

CABLED LOOP: Anchor eyes and other ttings need groove

diameters only slightly larger than the strand because the

diameter of the cabled rods of GUY-GRIP Dead-ends ap-

proximates

strand diameter. Cabled loops are designed for a

variety of ttings with dimensions shown in the table below.

CAUTION:

Hardware of this type is

not normally acceptable

because fatigue life of

GUY-GRIP Dead-ends

could be substantially

reduced.

Heavy-Duty-Type Cable Thimbles, if used, can collapse

when guy tensions are high. If thimbles are used in the

loop of the GUY-GRIP Dead-end, a large pin is recom-

mended to ll the loop of the thimble to prevent distortion.

The collapsing strength of the thimble and the proper pin

size should be obtained from the thimble manufacturer.

Suggested hardware dimensions for cabled-loop GUY-GRIP Dead-ends

* Depending on geometric shape of the hole, a hole diameter

less than specied may be acceptable.

** Use Big-Grip Dead-ends.

Guying of transmission structures and metal towers require

Big-Grip Dead-ends, VARI-GRIP™ Dead-ends.

GUY-GRIP® Dead-end Application Procedure - SP2045-1

Coated Dead-end

1-28

Crossover Marks: Indicate starting point for application.

Gritted and Neoprene Dipped Legs: Grit is permanently

embedded in a coating of neoprene.

Coated Dead-ends: are manufactured of aluminum alloy

wire, and are designed for direct application over conductors

jacketed with neoprene, polyethylene, vinyl, or rubber. The

sub-setted rods in each leg, bonded together with neoprene,

exert a low radial pressure without damaging the jacket.

Because it is not necessary to skin the plastic covering, the

same dead-end can be used for either aluminum-base or

copper-base conductors.

Coated Dead-ends should not be used over fabric braided

conductor. In this case, the fabric should be skinned and a

Distribution-Grip Dead-end applied.

RATED HOLDING STRENGTH. Holding values of coated

dead-ends are dependent on a combination of several factors:

• Conductor size, type, stranding

• Thickness of jacket

• Type of jacket

• Specic density of various polyethylenes

The multiplicity of combinations makes it impractical to

publish a table of "Rated Holding Strengths." As a general

guide, the following considerations may be adapted for a

certain conductor and construction practice.

When tested under static tension (ram speed of two inches

per minute), Coated Dead-ends will hold the full rated

breaking strength of all-aluminum and copper conductors,

jacketed with neoprene or medium density polyethylene.

Static tension results on ACSR approximates the full

strength of the aluminum strands plus 10% of the steel

core strength.

When Coated Dead-ends are tested under sustained

(24 hours) loading, generally lower holding strengths are

recorded. This is attributed to the cold-ow characteristics

and frictional coefficient of various plastics. The graphs

appearing on the back of each catalog page are based

on long-term sustained load tests and may be considered

representative of the cables described.

This data indicates the highest percentage of rated break-

ing strength (RBS) is held on medium density polyethylene

and vinyl. High density (linear) polyethylene has the lowest

percent of RBS.

In addition to the specic densities, the data indicates the

percent of RBS will also be reduced by increased jacket

thickness.

The test results, expressed in actual pounds of sustained

load capacity, make it apparent that values between 500 and

1,000 lbs. should be sufficient to meet eld requirements on

industrial or commercial service drops and messengered

aerial spacer cables. Values exceeding 1,000 lbs. are suf-

cient for primaries and secondaries in urban distribution.

TAPPING. Coated Dead-ends allow the plastic jacket to

remain intact and the conductor continues through the cross-

over point of the grip. Connectors are applied to the continued

tail, with minimum stripping and exposure to corrosion.

RADIO INTERFERENCE. R.I.V. readings and ashover

tests indicate Coated Dead-ends, applied over plastic

jacketed conductors, have the same satisfactory electrical

performance as dead-ends applied over bare conductors.

This statement does not apply to fabric covered conductor.

Distribution Grip (Slack Span/Overhead) Dead-ends are

not recommended for use with high temperature/low sag

conductors such as ACSS, ACSS/AW, ACSS/TW ACCR

or other types of conductors with loose, and/or annealed

outer layer strands. Typically THERMOLIGN® Dead-ends

are suggested for these applications. Consult PLP for

further information.

Spiral Vibration Damper

1. This product may be reused if in good condition.

2. This product is intended for use by trained craftspeople

only. This product SHOULD NOT BE USED by anyone

who is not familiar with and trained in the use of it.

3. When working in the area of energized lines with this

product, EXTRA CARE should be taken to prevent

accidental electrical contact.

Damping devices are designed for the single purpose of

reducing vibration. This single function is entirely different

from that of protecting against (1) stress concentrations, (2)

fretting or abrasion, and (3) arc-over burning. Because of

this, damping devices should be considered only as supple-

mental to WRAPLOCK® Tie, Armor Rod, Side Tie, Spool Tie,

or other hardware at tangent supports. Dampers are also

used as supplemental protection at dead-ends.

The degree of protection needed on a specic line depends

upon a number of factors such as line design, temperature,

tension, exposure to wind ow, and vibration history on

similar construction in the same area.

Spiral Vibration Dampers are also effective on certain size

overhead shield wires and OPGW. Consult PLP® for specics.

For damper applications on ADSS cable, refer to the

FIBERLIGN® Fiber Optic Products section under motion

control.

Consult your PLP Sales Representative for placement and

installation guidelines.

MATERIAL. The solid polyvinyl chloride helical rod material

is noncorrosive and has a surface hardness which does not

abrade the conductor.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

LENGTH: Assists in identifying conductor size,

corresponding to tabular information appearing on

following page.

DAMPING SECTION: Helically scaled for interplay

of damper and conductor, to provide the action/reaction

motion that opposes the natural vibration wave.

Note: Water/Canyon Crossings - due to the increased potential

of laminar wind ow, an additional 50% more dampers per span

should be added to the standard recommendations above for

adequate protection.

In areas that are prone to high levels of vibration or conductor tension

is in excess of 18% RBS, consult PLP for specic recommendations.

NOMENCLATURE

4. For PROPER PERFORMANCE AND PERSONAL

SAFETY be sure to select the proper size PLP Spiral

Vibration Damper before application.

5. PLP Spiral Vibration Dampers are precision devices.

To insure proper performance, they should be stored in

cartons under cover and handled carefully.

APPLICATION-INSPECTION. The Gripping Section should

be installed approximately one hand's width from the ends

of Armor Rod or other hardware. It is not necessary to make

engineering calculations as to placement.

Damper Products

Accessories: Section

Gripping Section: Grips cable. Consists of several

pitches (360˚ wraps around the cable) and holds

the Air Flow Spoiler rmly in position.

Spoiling Section: Disrupts aerodynamic lift. The

spoiling section is wrapped around the cable in a

manner which presents a constantly changing pro-

le to wind ow and cancels lift forces which cause

galloping. The spoiling section is wrapped around

the cable either two or three times, depending on

cable diameter.

Application Support Helix: Supports Spoiler. Air Flow

Spoilers range in length from 14 to 16 feet. The Ap-

plication Support Helix on one end keeps the Air

Flow Spoiler from hanging down, while the gripping

section on the opposite end is applied.

NOMENCLATURE

Several Air Flow Spoilers are required in each span to

offset the aerodynamic lift forces which cause galloping.

Each cable, conductor or phase, and neutral need to be

treated in each span.

The number and placement of Air Flow Spoilers in each

span can be determined by using the General Placement

guidelines that are on the next page or by submitting the

Air Flow Spoiler Placement Request form. The information

submitted on this form is inputted into a computer program

for the determination of the exact placement of the Air Flow

Spoilers in each span. The program also supplies the in-

creased wind loading on each span as a percentage increase.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

When using the Air Flow Spoiler Placement Request form,

the information should be completed and returned to PLP

prior to installation of Air Flow Spoilers. The placement

scheme will be returned giving the placement of Air Flow

Spoilers in each span.

Please advise whether the cables contain optical bers or if

the Air Flow Spoilers are to be installed on Figure 8/Lashed

Messenger cables. This may inuence the Air Flow Spoiler

selection and/or quantity.

Thermal Rating (Continuous) 125°C

Air Flow Spoiler

Air Flow Spoilers for EHV applications have a co-extended

semi-conductive outer layer of material which resists the

surface effects of high electrical gradients and minimizes

the possible generation of radio interference (RI).

GENERAL PLACEMENT GUIDELINES

Extensive laboratory and eld research has shown that

Air Flow Spoilers are most effective when they are placed

on 25% of the span length (based on the 12' spoiling sec-

tion). For example, a 600' span would require 13 Air Flow

Spoilers (.25x600)/12). The Air Flow Spoilers are grouped

in the middle 50% of the span by leaving a blank space

equal to an Air Flow Spoiler length between adjacent units.

EXPLANATORY NOTES:

(1) For installation on Figure 8 and Lashed Messenger cables, consult PLP.

(2) Obtain the Air Flow Spoiler Placement Request form from your local PLP representative or directly from PLP.

BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverter

Accessories: Section

NOMENCLATURE

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The BIRD-FLIGHT Diverter is designed to make overhead

lines and guyed structures visible to birds and provides an

economical means of reducing the hazard to both lines and

birds. For low and medium voltage construction, the BIRD-

FLIGHT Diverter is applied to the phase conductors (bare

or jacketed). For high voltages, it is used on the shield wire.

The BIRD-FLIGHT Diverter is lightweight, offers little wind

resistance and is easily and quickly applied by hand or by

hot stick. The positive grip on the conductor ensures that the

BIRD-FLIGHT Diverter remains in the applied position

and cannot move along the span under aeolian vibration

or other conditions.

Visibility: The diverter section increases the visible prole

of the cable or conductor to a degree necessary to ensure

safety, but avoids an undesirably bulky outline.

Material: Manufactured from rigid .375" and .500" high

impact polyvinyl chloride (PVC) possessing excellent

chemical resistance and tensile strength properties, the

BIRD-FLIGHT Diverter is designed to retain good physical

characteristics within a range of extreme temperatures.

Aging tests conrm the material does not deteriorate in

function or appearance from the effects of severe weather

conditions. Industrial fumes and salt water cannot seriously

degrade the properties of rigid PVC.

Length: Distance product covers the conductor.

Color Code: Identies conductor range, corresponding to

tabular information on the following page.

Color: Yellow or Gray

Material: Outdoor grade PVC

Coil Diameter: Internal diameter of diverter coil

APPLICATIONS

Ensure the correct size BIRD-FLIGHT Diverter is used. For

a detailed installation description, refer to the application

instructions. Hot stick application is fast and simple with

standard equipment.

Spacing: For optimum results, spacing distances are

recommended at 15' intervals. Since wind resistance is

very limited, sufficient BIRD-FLIGHT Diverters can be used

to ensure adequate visibility without creating stresses on

the line. When marking adjacent spans, overall visibility

is improved by staggering the application.

dling and paying-out of strand coils up to 500 ft. in length,

including EHS strand. It also can be used with wire, wire

rope, cable, conductor, etc. The dispenser eliminates weight

lifting, handling struggle, and the hazards of "runaway"

coil ends. Small and light in weight (a carton of 50 weighs

only 22 pounds), the Safety Guy Wire Dispenser occupies

minimal truck space. No banding or taping of coils is
