Braces

Wood crossarm braces are designed engineered to support wood crossarms to provide durability, strength and extended service life. The wood braces are a lightweight, alternative to steel crossarms and have better insulation properties than conductive metal ones. Many braces have corrosion resistant aluminum end fittings that are permanently pinned into the wood with a tongue and groove configuration. They are produced from strong Apitong wood that is preservative treated to resist insect, fungus and environmental attack. Many of them are reversible style, eliminating the need for separate right hand/left hand ones.

Underarm installations are produced from square cross section Apitong wood and have aluminum fittings with holes for mounting the arm and mounting it to the pole. Call us at Northern for any other questions that we can answer.
