Rubber Line Hose

CONVENTIONAL STYLE LINE HOSE

Conventional Style Line Hose is available in orange Type II SALCOR®, which remains flexible even in cold weather and it is not damaged by ozone or ultraviolet rays.

Each line hose has Salisbury’s RIB-GRIP® Locking System. The self-locking lip, which Salisbury patented, prevents line hose from coming off the conductor after an installation is complete. Often, as a lineman is working on an installation and making adjustments, the angle of connection shifts, causing line hose and covers to separate. To prevent this, Salisbury developed an ingenious solution for ensuring that any two protective devices would hold together yet still be easy for a lineman to assemble and take apart. The RIB-GRIP® construction takes advantage of rubber’s naturaltendency to grip and tighten its grip through compression. By creating curving rib configurations slit at a specific angle, two pieces easily slip together but resist coming apart. To quickly disengage, the lineman needs only to compress the rubber on either side.

EXTENDED LIP SU SYSTEM

The Extended Lip SU System is the only complete flexiblecover-up available for use on voltages through 34.5 kV. Extremely versatile, it may be installed by hand, wearing rubber insulating gloves, from an insulated aerial device or platform, or with hot sticks using the SU applicators.

Manufactured from superior SALCOR® Type II elastomer, it is resistant to the effects of ozone and ultraviolet deterioration. It remains flexible even at sub-zero temperatures.

Salisbury’s RIB-GRIP® construction securely interlocks with its corresponding covers and connectors. Tapered lips facilitate easy starting on the conductors. The contour cut ends accommodate the skirts of pin type insulators and permit the hose to cover the line snug to a saddle or clamp.

Available as Straight Line Hose or with a Connector Endfor easier connection of line hose and covers. A lifting eye is molded on the connector end for removal with hot sticks.

Salisbury line hose is compliant with ASTM D1050.
