Copper Tie Wire

Scope

This single-conductor copper wire helps secure conductors to pin insulators on a distribution pole. The durable HMWPE insulation surrounding the conductor provides excellent moisture and abrasion resistance.

Applicable Standards and Tests

• ASTM B-1 AND B-3
• ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC70

Construction

Conductors: Single conductors are solid uncoated copper.

Insulation: Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene). An optional HDPE (high density polyethylene) is available on request.

Identification and Packaging

Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2500 feet.
