“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.”
Hendrix Molded Products Outperform Porcelain
Exceed ANSI Standards by as much as 30%
Molded from a proprietary blend of gray, track resistant, high density polyethylene, they are ideal for use with all types of construction using either bare wire or covered conductors.
- Greater leakage distance
- High flashover and impulse values
- Lightweight
- Vandal resistant
- Won’t chip crack or break
- Recyclable
“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.”
