Guy strain is made from ductile iron hot galvanized, the veil-end fibreglass rod helps to provide UV protection, the crimped end fitting provide high performance holding strength.
Its function is providing electrical separation from the pole to the guy wire, the basic purpose of guy strain, the strain insulators act as lighting rod, electrocuting protectors.
Guy strain prevent application of destructive torsion forces to Guy Strain Insulators.
This device completely eliminates the twisting effect applied to the fiberglass rod during tensioning of the stranded guy wire
