** The catalogue numbers in the above table are for CT clevis-tongue fittings. For other combinations of end
fittings or mechanical strengths, see End Fittings Section.
END FITTINGS
There are five standard end fittings that are available on the deadend/suspension insulators: clevis, tongue,
thimble eye, socket, and ball (See Below). The clevis, tongue, and thimble eye fittings are made from high
strength, corrosion resistant extruded aluminum. While the socket and ball fittings are hot-dip galvanized iron.
The end fittings are crimped on to the core rod to provide the mechanical performance. A watertight seal
between the rubber and end fittings eliminates possible moisture ingress. This special silicone rubber to metal
fittings sealing process provides total exclusion of moisture.
The end fittings of the distribution class deadend/suspension are rated for a specified mechanical strength,
SML of 70 kN (15,700 lb) or 90 kN (20,200 lb).
The clevis and tongue end fittings are the two most common fittings used with additional adaptors and
clamps. The thimble eye end fitting is a unique design that integrates the insulator tongue end fitting and a
preformed conductor grip adapter to attach to the line conductor. This thimble eye essentially eliminates one
item in the assembly and from inventory.
For other special end fittings please contact K-Line Insulators.

END FITTINGS
LINE END FITTING
The line end fitting of line post insulators are available in four different configurations: horizontal or vertical
clamp-top, tie-top, or K-clamp.
All line end fittings on line post insulators are made of corrosion resistant aluminum alloy castings.

Clamp-Top
The conventional horizontal and vertical trunnion accommodates a standard line post insulator, bolted conductor
clamp. On the horizontal design the line end fitting has an additional eye for the attachment of other devices
during installation or maintenance activities.
Tie-Top
The tie-top is designed for tying a conductor to the neck of the insulator. It is available in two standard neck
sizes: C or F-neck.
K-Clamp
K-Line Insulators Limited has introduced a new concept in the polymer line post live end fitting design. This end
fitting is referred to as the K clamp. The uniqueness of this end fitting is a result of the many advantages it has
over the traditional horizontal, vertical and tie-top configurations.
Some advantages of the K clamp include:
1) Excellent corrosion resistant aluminum casting
2) A long, smooth contoured conductor clamping zone
3) The clamp accommodates a full range of conductor sizes
4) A single captive live-line operable bolt
5) All parts are captive
6) Lower overall length permits standard cover up hoods to effectively cover all insulator sheds
7) The design can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical configuration
8) Inventory reduction is accomplished because one insulator is used for both configurations and a
separate clamp is not required
9) The price of the new insulator is cost comparative with the purchase of a standard trunnion post
insulator and a separate clamp
10) Substantial labour cost savings in stringing, sagging and conductor clamping
11) Other savings related to shipping, stocking and maintenance

2. Add T1 to catalogue numbers for insulators with one end tapped & the other with through holes.
3. Add T2 to catalogue number for insulators with both ends tapped.
END BASES
The standard base fittings are flat round iron bases that are available with bolt circle mounting holes with
either through or tapped holes. These bases are compatible with the porcelain station post insulator
standard.
The end bases are radially swaged on to the core rod to provide the mechanical performance and reduce
the stress concentration. Our proprietary design ensures a watertight seal between the rubber and end
fitting. This special silicone rubber to metal fittings sealing process prevents moisture ingress to the core
fiberglass rod. For other special base requirements, please contact K-Line Insulators Limited.
Corrosion protection of the end bases is provided by hot-dip galvanizing to CSA G164 and ASTM A153
specifications.

Section lengths are based on ball and socket hardware. For lengths of insulators with alternate end fittings combination see

SECTION LENGTHS
The section lengths (L) published on the Technical Data sheet are for the ball and socket end fittings. For alternate
combinations of end fittings, use the following table to establish section lengths.

CORONA RINGS
High voltage lines above 88 kV phase-to-phase can generate unnecessary noise (RI and TVI) and corona due to
the high electrical stress concentration. To minimize these effects gradient or corona rings are installed on the end
fitting of the insulator. Guidelines used in the application of these rings are noted below.
Insulators that are used on system voltages above 88 kV and below 150 kV are supplied with a built-in gradient
ring. Insulators that are used on system voltages from 150 kV and above are supplied with a separate corona ring
for assembly in the field before installation. The ring is designed for installation in only one orientation and
location to avoid miss application. These rings are made from aluminum that make them light weight and
corrosion resistant.
Corona Ring
150 kV to 230 kV
END FITTINGS
The end fittings on the transmission insulator are made of high strength, cast (forged) steel. The insulators have a
specified mechanical load (SML) rating of 120 kN (27,000 lbs.). Also, all insulators are proof tested to 60 kN
(13,500 lbs.) in tension.
The end fittings are radialy swaged on to the core rod to provide the mechanical performance and reduce the
stress concentration. Our proprietary design insures a watertight seal between the rubber and end fitting. This
special silicone rubber to metal fittings sealing process prevents moisture ingress to the core fiberglass rod.
Hot-dip galvanizing to CSA G164 and ASTM A153 Standard provides corrosion protection of the end fittings.
The cotter key is made from stainless steel.
The standard end fittings that are available are listed and detailed in the below. For other special end fittings
contact K-Line Insulator Limited.
ORDERING INFORMATION

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
The performance benefits of K-Line Insulators transmission line post insulators are listed below.
Improved Reliability (interruptions and outages due to vandalism, pole fires, and flashovers in all types of
environments are a thing of the past)
Eliminate or Reduce Maintenance (such as washing and less trouble calls) and is compatible with existing
plant
Improves Power Quality (lower RI and TVI)
Energy Efficiency (reduced losses due to lower leakage currents)
Safety (light weight for handling and installation)

Life Cycle Cost (savings over porcelain insulators)
APPLICATION
Transmission line post insulators are used on overhead transmission lines operating at and above 66 kV. These
insulators are commonly installed either vertically or horizontally on metal or wooden structures to support the
conductor. Also, these insulators are used to support high voltage conductor jumpers or leads.
