Installation
Ductile iron poles are simple to install with most of the
same equipment used to install wood poles. If a sling
is being used to lift poles, we recommend nylon slings
instead of a chain. Cross arms will need a mounting
bracket that can fit the curved pole face since the DI
poles are not gained.
•
Holes are drilled in the factory based on customer
specification. If a hole needs to be drilled in the field,
ductile iron poles are the easiest to drill of any non-
wood poles. Line crews have even said that DI poles
are easier to drill than wood!
•
The Milwaukee Hole Saw bit on the top is our
preferred bit. The bit on the bottom is a two-in-one
drill and tap bit that can be used to tap a threaded
hole in the field. See Tech
