About:

Designed for 15 kV distribution voltage, the RTL-15 is a three-phase spacer used in Hendrix Spacer Cable Systems. Mounted on a messenger wire, the RTL-15 will support and separate the messenger and phase conductors in a diamond configuration. The RTL-15 uses ratcheting clamps to secure the messenger and conductor. Hendrix spacers are molded using a proprietary gray track-resistant and UV-resistant high-density polyethylene material.

Application:

Use the RTL-15 in three-phase distribution systems rated up to and including 15 kV, phase to phase. Installation of the spacers should be made in accordance with the appropriate Hendrix Aerial Cable System Instructions. Mount spacers at 30-foot intervals. Fasten the messenger and conductor with the ratcheting clamps.

To eliminate swaying at poles, use the lower hole on the backside of the spacer for anti-sway brackets (BAS-14F/S, supplied separately).

Features:

• Designed for easy and efficient installation and replacement.
• Integral ratcheting clamps secure our full range of messenger and phase conductor sizes.
• Optimum dielectric compatibility with Hendrix Spacer Cable.
• Excellent weather washing characteristics.
• Long leakage distance resists flashovers.
• Phase spacing minimizes voltage drop.
• Highly resistant to shock, impact, or rifle fire.
• The open diamond design provides a neat appearance.
• Can be installed with hot line tools.
• Molded from proprietary gray track-resistant and UV-resistant high-density polyethylene material.
