- Conductor cross sections from 16-150 mm² (main) and 4-150 mm² (branch)
Hiko stocks a wide range of overhead line fittings. This data sheet lists commonly stocked items; other types are available on request.
Insulation Piercing Connectors (IPCs) are used to make tap off connections on low voltage insulated conductors. Hiko IPCs include shear bolts to ensure the correct tightening torque is applied during installation.
Parallel Groove (PG) Clamps are used to connect aluminium and ACSR conductors. Bimetallic PG Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR main conductors with copper tap-off conductors.
Bimetallic Cover Tap-Off Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR main conductors with copper tap-off conductors. Hiko cover tap-off clamps are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant aluminium alloy, hot-forged metallic sheet and high strength copper alloy (CuNi2Si) and use hot-dip galvanised steel bolts and corrosion protected washers.
Bimetallic Bow Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR conductors with copper conductors. The body is made of high strength aluminium alloy with bimetallic sheet for copper tap-off; the U-bolt and nuts are hot-dip galvanised with corrosion protected washers.
Hiko PG clamps and bimetallic PG clamps are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant aluminium alloy (AlMgSi1/Al6082) and use hot-dip galvanised steel bolts and nuts and corrosion protected washers.
