scope:

This standard covers the requirements of inch-based hardware commonly used in wood pole overhead line construction. Metric hardware is not covered by this standard.

Purpose

This standard will combine several existing IEEE, ANSI, and NEMA standards that are either current or archived. These standards provide the user and manufacturer with established manufacturing specifications. The current use of several standards requires work on each standard on a five-year cycle, which has resulted in some of these standards being archive. The combined standard will prove for a timely review process for the standard and will provide the industry with a current standard for widely used pole line hardware.
