Bushing Covers

Standard Salisbury Bushing covers and Salisbury TRI-PORT® Bushing Covers are made from Ozone and UV resistant silicone rubber which maximizes their outdoor durability and tracking resistance. These covers have been accepted by Rural Utilities Service (RUS).

Bushing Covers protect against wildlife contacts between energized equipment and ground by insulating exposed energized bushing parts. Standard and TRI-PORT® Bushing Covers interlock with the top weathershed of the bushing and are securely fastened by inserting lock buttons (provided).

The 211163F-ES bushing cover option provides added protection against animal caused outages. The third fastener (lock button) secures the cover firmly onto the bare conductor or stinger cover further insulating energized equipment. The 21116TC-ES, Bushing Cover includes the 21644-ES Tube Closure. The 21644-ES Tube Closure provides an easier and quicker way to securely close the standard bushing cover.

Bushing Covers can be installed without disconnecting equipment using rubber insulating gloves. Covering a small area of the lead wire, the opening can be trimmed to accommodate larger wires or 5/8” and 3/4” Salisbury Stinger Covers.

For complete 360 degree coverage, the BC512-ES Cone Bushing Cover is the right choice. These covers come complete with upper and lower trim rings for a custom fit size and internal ribs for added air flow and water drainage. Made from Ozone and UV resistant silicone rubber, the BC512 permanently protects bushings from all sources of potential outages. Installation requires de-energizing equipment.
