Hendrix Insulator on a crossarm on clear day

Polyethylene Insulators & Molded Accessories

Sturdy. Dependable. Lifetime Guarantee.

Fire Retardant Insulators

Polyethylene has an ignition temperature of about 650°F, and while wildfires can reach temperatures far above that threshold in the ranges of 1,100°F – 2,000°F, FR Insulators will still be less prone to ignition.

HENDRIX FR INSULATORS are tested according to UL 94, in which the material passes vertical burning V-0, which is the most stringent rating for UL 94.

  • In addition to being tested according to UL-94, a “field” burning test was conducted using a Hendrix Fire Retardant Insulator. The test consisted of directly applying the flame of a utility torch to the thinnest section (~1/8”) of the insulator’s fin for a duration of 30 continuous seconds.
  • The flame was self-extinguished within 5 seconds of the torch being removed.

Hendrix stepped up in a big way

“Avangrid-CMP had a large weeklong storm impacting 75% of our customers. As we needed immediate assistance on insulators, Hendrix stepped up in a big way over the weekend. When no shipping Companies were available, Hendrix rented a U-Haul and had two employees drive 4+ hours each way to deliver in under 24hours on the weekend of Christmas. Really appreciate the effort and support of Hendrix in our Storm Restoration!”

“High density polyethylene is lightweight; one person can easily install the insulator. That’s less costly, takes less time, and there’s much lower risk of back injury for our workers.”

“When we used the porcelain post insulator on a single-phase line, that was on a steel pole, we had to insulate between the post insulator and the pole (could not mount the post insulator/pole top bracket directly to the steel pole).  With the ratings the Hendrix insulator has, we will now be able to eliminate the insulation between the two and frame for single phase steel, just as we would for single-phase wood.”
