Line Taps

A line tap connector is primarily used to attach or remove a tap conductor to or from an energised conductor with the aid of a live line tool or an insulated clamp type head operating stick.

PG Clamps

Parallel Groove (PG) Clamps are used to connect aluminium and ACSR conductors. Bimetallic PG Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR main conductors with copper tap-off conductors.
