Description
Distribution Ties for Aluminium Based Conductors
Indeed, the distribution ties for aluminium conductors range from PLP ties aluminium based conductors at support positions, in eight diameters from 7.04 to 24.59 mm.
Also, this range covers the widest span of any tie in this category, so measuring the conductor accurately matters more here than on a narrower range. Consequently, a colour code alone should never replace a measured diameter check. Generally, ties over bare conductor suit sites without an armour rod fitted at the support. Additionally, eight sizes give finer coverage across the range than the smaller tie ranges in this category.
Sizes in this range
Overall, this page offers eight options, covering conductor diameters from 7.04 to 24.59 mm. However, each part covers its own defined diameter band, so confirm the conductor diameter and full part number before ordering. Additionally, the table below lists the store SKU next to each diameter band for quick reference.
| Store SKU | Conductor diameter (mm) | Colour code |
|---|---|---|
| PLPAWDT-075-76 | 7.04 – 7.99 | Blue |
| PLPAWDT-090-76 | 8.00 – 9.06 | Red |
| PLPAWDT-113-76 | 10.30 – 11.65 | Black |
| PLPAWDT-140-76 | 13.20 – 14.99 | Blue |
| PLPAWDT-163-76 | 15.00 – 17.19 | Orange |
| PLPAWDT-180-76 | 17.20 – 19.19 | Black |
| PLPAWDT-210-76 | 19.20 – 21.60 | Red |
| PLPAWDT-240-76 | 22.60 – 24.59 | Blue |
Generally, adjacent diameter bands sit close together, so a conductor near a boundary should be measured carefully before choosing between two options.
Applications
Overall, this range suits:
- Aluminium based conductor arrangements directly on bare conductor
- Distribution line support ties across the widest diameter range in this range
- Colour-coded selection where the bare conductor diameter is confirmed
- Sites without an armour rod fitted at the tie position
Specifically, distribution ties of this type do not suit a conductor already fitted with an armour rod; use the matching armour-rod tie range for that arrangement instead. Namely, check the fitting position before ordering.
Match the fitting to the conductor
First, confirm the conductor type, material and outside diameter. Then, check the individual fitting’s diameter band and colour code against the table above. Also, if you are replacing an existing fitting, provide its part number and the conductor details so our team can confirm the correct size. Finally, if the application involves a crossing, high tension or another specified condition, mention this when requesting selection help.
