Why Use a Factory Assembled Dead End?

  • Only one unit to order
  • Only one unit to inventory
  • Only one unit to install

Strength

Dead Ends are critical components of powerline systems, subjected to heavy longitudinal conductor tension loads much greater than the vertical loads. BROOKS Dead Ends are designed to handle these loads safely and efficiently. Most conventional Dead Ends, such as "buckarm" construction, orient the crossarms to carry heavy vertical loads. BROOKS Dead Ends position the arms to provide greater longitudinal strength with less wood.

Tested

Test results verify the greater strength of BROOKS Dead Ends vs. conventional Dead Ends.

Solid Sawn or Glued Laminated

BROOKS Dead End Assemblies are also manufactured from the industry accepted glued laminates. The laminates, produced from coast region Douglas fir, offer excellent strength characteristics and enhanced reliability. The cross sections are identical to those of solid sawn and therefore are completely interchangeable without hardware considerations. Laminates are proven to be cost effective and readily available. To gain the benefits of laminates of our Dead Ends, simply add the suffix "L" behind the catalog number when ordering. Example: 3103-D8L.

Reversible Braces

All BROOKS Dead Ends include BROOKS 446 Reversible Braces.

Static Proof Design

BROOKS Dead End fittings are designed for a tight static proof fit.

Adaptable

By drilling a hole in the center of the top arm of the BROOKS Dead End you can easily add jumper pins without reducing the strength of the unit.
