The CUSHION-GRIP Suspension – HT250 is designed for
use on all aluminum-based conductors where a continuous 
operating temperature of 250°C is required. The design utilizes
elastomer cushion inserts that significantly reduce static
and dynamic bending stresses on the conductor at the
attachment point. Additionally, fully captive hardware
reduces the time and effort required for installation

  • Field-proven elastomer cushions protect the conductor against abrasion, wear, and fatigue

  • Shipped fully assembled with no loose parts to avoid lost hardware

  • Armor Rods are not necessary for installation; strain relief relies solely on cushion inserts

  • All fasteners are factory installed and captive, eliminating lost hardware in the field

  • One-piece design allows the suspension to be installed over the conductor by simply loosening the captive fasteners and spreading the assembly open

  • Rated for EHV/UHV operation without additional hardware (reach out to PLP for more info)

  • Rated for up to 250°C continuous operating temperatures

  • Compatible with standard attachment hardware

  • Easy hot stick application - lower captive fasteners act as a hinge to facilitate hot stick application
