Thimble Clevises are used in conjunction with PREFORMED Dead-ends on suspension-type or Dead-end insulators.  The thimble is intended to provide a smooth internal contour to prevent stress concentration within the loop of a PREFORMED Dead-end.  The Clevis includes a steel pin which links it through the eye of an insulator and secures it with a humpbacked cotter key.

  • If removal or replacement of an insulator, or similar maintenance, is required, only the cotter key and steel pin need to be removed to release the clevis.
