Pole Top Pin
In any functional power transmission line, you are likely to find a pole top pin. This is a powerline fitting that is usually used inc conjunction with the pin insulator. It is specifically designed to support the insulator on top of the pole.
A pole top pin is usually supported to the pole with the help of bolts. These bolts ensure that the insulating units are well-secured.
The construction of the pole top pin features the iconic hot dip galvanized steel. This material is known for its immense tensile strength. It is a type of material that you can trust for all heavy-duty applications. You will not spend money replacing this powerline accessory frequently.
This pole tip has been manufactured according to global standards. It surpasses the minimum load both traversal and longitudinally.
Since pole top pin is hot dip galvanized, issues such as high temperature, dust, water, and chemicals won’t be of any concern. The galvanization process gives the powerline accessory maximum protection against various elements.
Powertelcom pole top pin has a simple design. The simplicity makes sit easy to install and remove when you want to access the insulator units. It is straight and features quite a specific number of holes or grooves on the base
It is also important to note that pole top pins come in different sizes in terms of length. This automatically means that some of these overhead power fittings are longer than others. So, when buying a pole top pin, you should go ahead to specify its desired size.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is a pole top pin?
The pole top pin is a connecting accessory that is used on the pole lines. Its work is to connect and support pin insulators to the pole. They allow for easy installation and removal of the installation fittings on the pole line.
What are the components of a pole top pin?
This accessory is a pin hence does not come with many components attached to it. However, unlike a normal pin, the pole top pin comes with some mounting holes that are strategically spaced from each other. The holes are used as connection points onto the pole. The tip of the pin is threaded for easy installation.
What is the application of pole top pin?
Pole top pins are mainly used in most pole line power transmission installations. This is a common accessory in major installations that transmit high electric voltage. Transmission lines of between 11kv and 33kv need to have pole top pins.
What is the pole top pin made of?
Pole top pin is made of galvanized ASTM steel metal that is strong and corrosion-proof. The threaded tip of the pole top pin is made of lead.
What are the dimensions of the pole top pin?
Pole top pins come in different lengths ranging from 18” to 20”. The holes on the top pins have different diameters. The dimensions that you choose will depend on your application.
