The requirements of inch-1 based wood pole line hardware commonly used in overhead line construction are covered in this standard. Metric pole line hardware is not covered by this standard.

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.

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standards requires work on each standard on a five-year cycle, which has resulted in some of these standards being out of date. 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.
