Section 1500: Conductor Stringing

The most versatile conductor-stringing block ever made. Can be used in suspension utilizing a high strength, hot dipped galvanized socket connector; or, used on crossarms through 5" x 6" in five positions. 100% positive locking spring loaded head pin assembly has large loop for hot stick operation.

The XS-100-B is light but extremely rugged. Sheave and crossarm bracket base are permanent mold castings with heat treatment. Anti-friction ball bearings are lubricated for life of block under normal conditions.

Neoprene and Urethane linings are available - both provide a resilient cushion for the wire being strung. Urethane has tremendous abrasion resistance for unusually rugged applications.

Suffix PG - Polished Groove

Bethea's UB-1-A Universal Roller is the solution to your search for a quality engineered sheave that is lightweight (9.4 pounds), versatile, durable, and dependable. It can be intermixed with similar stringing blocks and mounting attachments manufactured by others, without affecting conductor sag and tension.

The quality of the UB-1-A roller is not surpassed by any roller of its type. Its aluminum parts are cast from high strength A356 alloy, heat-treated to the T6 condition, giving it the capability of withstanding rough treatment under adverse conditions while supporting heavy loads.

The UB-1-A may be attached directly to ANSI Class 52-3 & 5 ball and socket insulators using the socket eye supplied as an integral part of the unit. If desired, the UB-1-A socket eye can be attached to optionally available fittings, i.e., CB-55 Clevis Ball: YCB-65 Y-Clevis Ball; OEB-55 Oval Eye Ball; BH-5L Ball Hook or SHB-1 Ball Safety Hook.Shown: UB-1-A mounted on crossarm with xa-1 adapter.

Bethea's UB-1-C Universal Roller is the solution to your search for a quality engineered sheave that is lightweight (7.8 pounds), versatile, durable and dependable. It can be intermixed with similar stringing blocks and mounting attachments manufactured by others, without affecting conductor sag and tension.

The quality of the UB-1-C roller is not surpassed by any roller of its type. Its aluminum parts are cast from high strength A356 alloy, heat-treated to the T6 condition, giving it the capability of withstanding rough treatment under adverse conditions while supporting heavy loads.

Ideal for light duty, pole top phase construction of small conductors. Equipped with two polished all aluminum alloy rollers to support the conductor during straight stringing and angles up to 10°, the PM-1AG has a clamp top to keep the wire (or pulling line) from coming out where an uplift exists. This limited-use block fits down onto standard NEMA pins 1"-1.375" and with adapter will screw directly onto standard 1" NEMA pin.

Suspension-type Angle Rollers are designed to mount with a .63" bolt or clevis pin. The clevis will accommodate a standard insulator tongue.

This roller is used for stringing and sagging conductors through angles up to 60°.

High impact resistant ductile iron is used for both frame and roller. A hardened and ground alloy pin is used to support the roller on oil impregnated bronze bushings. Plating protects all components from corrosion.

Hooks are used to attach ball and socket or clevis insulators directly to the tower attachment pad. All hooks are of the self-locking design.

Ball clevises are used to attach ball and socket insulators to other associated tower hardware or stringing blocks.

Bethea's heavy-duty line of swivels can be used for attaching a pulling rope(1) to a conductor or for attaching conductor to a running board.

Bethea swivels are computer designed to allow safe smooth passage of a conductor through stringing blocks(2) without overloading insulators

and structures.Computer controlled machinery is used to manufacture precision dimensioned components that will perform satisfactorily under

severe loading conditions encountered in stringing conductor. These corrosion protected alloy steel swivels are designed for long lasting cost efficient service.

NOTES:

(1) Stringing swivels should only be used in pulling braided rope, conductor or stranded steel cable. Synthetic 3-strand pulling rope should

not be used with swivels. It can, however, be used with non-rotating connectors.

(2) Stringing swivels must not be allowed to pass through bull wheels on pullers or tensioners.

*All ratings are with a 3:1 safety factorReplacement swivel pins available.

Collapsible Reel, Type CR (#176-A-78). The Bell System designed this reel for use in picking up wire in neat coils. The reel attaches to the winch shaft by means of bayonet type socket. Unit is to be put on the winch shaft applying force toward the center of the truck to compress the spring and turning the unit to lock. The design of the unit is such that after the wire is coiled up on it, the quick acting handle is used to collapse the outer rim of the pick-up reel allowing the picked up wire coil to be removed. Maximum pulling force, 4,000 lbs. Capacity, 1,600 ft. of 1/4" wire rope or 200 lbs. of wire or cable.

Specifications:

• Drum Diameter: 20"
• Overall Diameter: 28"
• Throat (Between Flanges): 6"
• Winch Shaft Diameter: 2-7/16"
• Weight: 70 lbs.

The (4533) and (3555) Combination Pay-Out and Take-Up Reels feature a compact design, are durable, and are easy to use. Two fold-out legs hold the reel securely in an upright position during operation. Both models convert easily from pay-out to take-up duty. A brake mechanism prevents unwanted coil pay out or backlash and automatically releases again for smooth pay out. A hand crank allows for fast cable take-up. One operator can attend to several reels with minimal effort.

The reel guide pins fold flat so the unit takes up minimal space when stored. Each reel guide is easily adjustable to hold variable inside diameter reels.

The (4533) is recommended for aluminum coils. It can handle coils up to 18" in thickness with a 13" minimum inside diameter and a 37" maximum outside diameter.

The (3555) is recommended for copper coils. It can handle coils up to 13" in thickness with a 13" minimum inside diameter and a 34" maximum outside diameter.

The (900) Heavy Barrow Reel is made to handle heavy wire and can be carried to the job site. It is made of hardwood and reinforced with steel plate. A wide bearing surface allows the reel to turn easily regardless of coil weight. The reel guide pins handle coils up to 12" in thickness and adjust for 12", 18", or 24" inside diameter coils. Maximum outside diameter is 41".

The (902) Plain Pay-Out Reel is made of reinforced hardwood. It is specially suited for gang mounting on a truck bed or trailer when paying out several wires simaltaneously. The reel guide pins handle coils up to 12" in thickness and adjust for 12", 18", or 24" inside diameter coils. Maximum coil diameter is 33".

A new design with strength where it is needed. Raise the pivoted swing-away arm, drop in the coil of strand, lower the arm and you are ready to cut the bands and feed strand. No loose parts to drop and lose, no unneeded metal bands with this sturdy tool. Handles full coils with ease while storing partially used ones safely. A time and labor saver.

MULETAPE®

 

NEPTCO's family of measuring and pulling tapes substantially reduces cable installation labor, material and inventory costs by providing a threading line, a measuring tape, and a winchline all in one product.

MULETAPE® reduces damage to underground pipes, improves efficiency, and enhances worker safety.

Our tapes are manufactured with a low stretch polyester material that distributes heat across its wide, flat profile. This improves efficiency and

prevents "snap back", which occurs when a rope under high tension elongates and either breaks, or snaps back, often injuring the installer.

Features & Benefits:

• Prelubrication reduces friction levels and eliminates duct cutting
• Lower elongation reduces pulling time, enhances worker safety, and prevents crushed capstans
• Lightweight, easily blown through conduit or innerduct
• Accurate sequential footage or meter markings enable monitoring of cable location during a pull, eliminate the need for measuring tapes, and help determine the quantity remaining on partial roll
• Variety of constructions available: woven, jacketed, aramid and polyester
• Packaged in splice-free lengths up to 100,000 ft. for faster, easier cable placement
• Available in a variety of strengths up to 6,000 lbs
