Clamps

Clamps make a dependable mechanical and electrical pressure contact between guy strand and anchor rod, when the guy is part of the grounding system. Used on Thimbleye and Angle-Thimbleye bolts to keep hardware-to guy contacts tight. They are also used to prevent excessive wear on guy strands and protect galvanizing. Those clamps maintain electrical continuity. Connection is soldered to the cable sheath and mechanically clamped to the messenger wire. The bolt can be removed so that the clamp can be dropped over the messenger. They are also hot dip galvanized. Clamps are used with through bolts to support cable at poles. Through bolt also serves as clamping member. One or more nuts and/or washers are used between the pole and clamp for required spacing.
