CW-DAB Double Arming Bolts (D.A. Bolts)
Product Overview
CW-DAB Double Arming Bolts are fully threaded, hot-dip galvanized steel bolts designed for use in double crossarm construction on utility poles and transmission structures. Supplied pre-assembled with four square nuts, these bolts provide a secure and stable method for locking the spacing between two crossarms, ensuring structural integrity under heavy loads.
The bolt ends are threaded to accept eye nuts, making them suitable for dead-end and guy wire anchoring applications. Commonly referred to as D.A. Bolts or Double Arm Bolts, they are an essential component in overhead power line and substation construction.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Fully Threaded Design: Allows flexible adjustment and secure locking at any position along the bolt length.
