Types of Post Insulator Brackets
There are different types of post insulator brackets to suit different applications including:
Curved base Brackets:
These brackets have a pole-shaped back that allows for mounting of post insulators in a horizontal position with a 5-degree up sweep commonly referred to in Lineman’s slang as “chicken wing”. Curved base brackets are versatile and can be used for both armless construction and phase-over-phase mounting.
Side Mounted Brackets:
Side-mounted brackets are used to mount post-type insulators to the side of utility poles in a horizontal position with a 15-degree up sweep. Made with high-quality 3/8″ x 21/2″ bar steel and hot dip, side-mounted brackets are designed to facilitate a stringing block.
Uni-Brackets:
Uni-brackets are used to mount three post-type insulators on top of the utility pole without requiring a cross arm. They give a clean appearance and only require two 3/4″ bolts for attachment making them cost-effective and efficient. Uni-Brackets fit poles ranging in diameter from 6″ to 81/2″ and can be adapted to a variety of distribution utility poles.
