The cross bar perch is 3/4” diameter copper, providing heavy duty service. This ground plug also comes equipped with a tapered guide and the yellow protective cap.

The Hydraulic Cable Spike is designed to verify underground cable, up to 1000MCM, is de-energized before cutting, repairing, splicing or replacing.

The Cable Penetrating Ground Clamp is designed to be used either as a tool for “spiking” jacketed cable or as a part of a grounding assembly used to bond both ends of an opened cable. The 7/8” long plated steel point is inserted into the eye screw making a low resistant one piece spear. If one point becomes blunted it may be sharpened or replaced with a new spear. Clamps are aluminum body with either smooth or serrated upper jaws. The hard aluminum serrated insert makes optimum contact with the stranded neutral shield.
