These covers provide a highly versatile system of covering up a wide variety of configurations on distribution systems. The conductor covers couple with the insulator units and deadend units to cover pin-type or post-type insulator construction. Together, they virtually surround the hot parts and hardware to give lineworkers extra protection when rubber gloving or using hot sticks. Each item is fitted with an adapter for multi-position handling by Grip-All clampsticks.
These covers also couple with Chance 25 kV covers (catalog pages 2402 and 2403), Classes 2, 3 and 4 of rubber line hose (pages 2408 and 2409) and major brands of rubber insulator hoods.
All covers are bright orange in color. All are made of of high-density polyethylene in a uniform wall thickness for excellent dielectric/puncture strength and perform well from -50° to 170°F. Ultra-violet stabilizers in the material help inhibit degradation as a result of atmospheric exposure.
Conductor cover is 5 feet long. The cover’s V-shaped bottom edge makes it easy to install. Four indented ribs along the cover’s top edge provide an air gap between the conductor and the cover. Maximum conductor size is 666 kcmil ACSR.
Insulator covers come in two heights. Either 12" or 161/2" tall cover fits 61/2" to 9"-diameter pin or post insulators. Special slits in the insulator covers help locate the conductor and hardware when installing the covers.
Deadend cover fits three 10"-diameter porcelain bells or polymer deadend insulators and couples with the line cover. To meet the Class 4 rating, the deadend cover must be used in conjunction with a rubber insulating blanket covering the coupler to the line cover. Failure to use a blanket to cover the coupler may result in electrical shock, severe injury or death by electrocution.
