NOTE: READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALL. ENSURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT PREFORMED PRODUCT BEFORE INSTALL IS STARTED
Cold Application
- Apply the Tie Pad to the conductor so the conductor does not come into direct contact with the insulators. Keep the Tie Pad slit facing upward.
- Bend the Longspan Tie open a little more to make it easier to fall into place and set itself.
- Install the Longspan Tie over the center of the insulator so that both legs are parallel to the conductor.
- Rotate the Longspan Tie counter-clock-wise. Ensure both legs go under the conductor. Rotate the Longspan Tie until the legs seat themselves.
- Bend one leg of the Longspan Tie around the neck of the insulator. Ensure the Tie is firmly seated under the insulator ear.
- Continue wrapping the Longspan Tie legs until it is completely wrapped.
- Snap the end of each leg into place. Ensure the Longspan Tie end fully snaps into place. This may require more pressure than the pressure to wrap.
