Broadly used iron or aluminum metal fittings for transmitting wires, collectively referred to as hardware. There are many types of hardware with various applications, such as various clamps for installing conductors, various hanging rings for forming insulator strings, various compression sleeves and repair sleeves for connecting conductors, various types of spacing rods on split conductors, and more. Additionally, there are various types of tension hardware for poles and towers, as well as fittings related to the size of protective conductors, which must be matched with each other.
