Side Tie
The side tie consists of secure conductors inside grooves of head-style insulators that are interchangeable. These are made of aluminum covered steel and offer a better method to secure the conductor in comparison to the clamp-top insulator or the hand ties.
The side tie permits the movement of the conductor, decreasing the cantilever loading at the bracket or insulator base, and restores itself.
Side tie is recommended to be an improvement over armor rods that are secured with the clamp top insulators or hand tie wires. They offer good protection against conductor motion abrasion when they get installed through a pad on a bare conductor. These are made for double-cross arm support for the conductor.
Ties are usually made of steel covered with aluminum. The identification tag is used for identifying catalog number, nominal conductor size, neck size, and diameter range of the conductor. The inner color code signifies the crossover marking of C neck insulators, while the outer color code shows the F neck crossover mark. Pads are present as well that are formulated elastomer.
Features
- Offers superior abrasion protection over the hand tie wire for the conductor in all categories of the motion
- Superior as compared to the hand tie wire
- Tube part surrounds the bare conductor through a resilient cushioning

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Side Tie?
The side tie is made of secure conductors that are inside the grooves of the head-style insulators. These are interchangeable and made of aluminum covered steel, offering a better way to secure the conductor in comparison to the clamp-top insulator.
What is the application of the side tie?
Side tie is suggested to be an improvement of the armor rods secured with the hand tie wires of clamp top insulators. These protect the conductors when get installed on a bare conductor. They are made for the double cross arm support for the conductor. These are superior to the hand tie wires.
What are the components of the product?
The ties are made of the steel covered with aluminum. The identification tag is utilized for identifying the catalog, nominal conductor and neck size, and conductor diameter range. The color code shows the crossover markings of the neck insulators. Pads are especially formulated elastomers that are also present and are considered as an important part of the side ties.
