Insulator Pin

All fittings for insulators are either made of forged steel or heat treated malleable east iron hot dip galvanised to BS: 729. Suspension and tension clamps are made of aluminium alloy from permanent mould process.

Insulator pins of this series have large or small heads specified in BS: 137 part2.

The pins are suitable for the pin type insulators.

These steel head pins can be used only for insulators with zinc thimbles.

The mechanical failing load of the pin is defined as the load at which the deflection of pin shall not exceed 20% of the distance from the support when the load is applied at right angle to a point 1 inch above the head of a rigidly mounted pin as shown here.
