ClampStar hardware pertains to a variety of items such as: Torque Nuts, Installation Kits, Gripping Tools and Mounting Brackets.
TORQUE NUTS
All ClampStars are supplied by the factory with pre-installed torque-limiting fasteners that are designed to snap off when the correct torque level is attained. Additional Torque Nuts are available for purchase and are designed to accommodate different size bolts and different torque ratings.
INSTALLATION KITS
The Installation Kit contains an eyebolt with a flat washer welded to the eye near the threaded base. This eyebolt is used as a hot stick connection point when Distribution class ClampStar® CRU units are being installed with a hot stick.
The threaded bolt section screws into a tapped hole in the body of the ClampStar and provides a secure means to which a clamp stick or “shotgun stick” can be readily attached. This Installation Kit is removed after installation to be used for future CRU unit hot stick installations.
BRACKETS
Brackets are used to attach Safe-T-Link tethers to overhead hardware. Several brackets have previously been developed for a variety of overhead hardware configurations and there’s a good chance that one of these brackets will fit your application. Customers are required to provide photos or drawings of their particular hardware so that our factory personnel can determine the best bracket for each application. If a bracket does not presently exist for your specific application, we will design one.
BODY SNATCHER GRIPPING TOOL KIT
The Transmission Class Hot-stick Gripper tool quickly and easily attaches onto the end of a hot stick before it’s clamped onto the ClampStar body to be placed on the conductor making it very easy to correct a failing transmission class splice or damaged conductor without having to de-energize the line. This tool can be used on all T-Class ClampStar units designed to fit conductors ranging from 477 kcmil – 2515 kcmil. Each Body Snatcher Gripping Tool Kit carrying case comes equipped with (2) Gripping Units & (2) IK-375G hot stick connection points for use with 1140 thru 1912 ClampStars.
