When Installing Parallel Groove Clamps, It Is Necessary To Check The Exposed Length Of The Bolts.

In overhead lines and power distribution systems, work teams often use the bimetal pg clamp method to connect conductors. This type of connection consists of two parts: a groove and fastening bolts, and installation must be carried out according to the blackburn parallel groove clamp industry standard. During the burndy parallel groove clamp installation process, the exposed bolt length is a crucial factor in verifying that the installation meets construction standards. Insufficient bolt exposure may lead to incorrect clamping force or abnormal hardware fit.

After completing the connector parallel groove positioning and conductor insertion, technicians will tighten the bolts with a wrench. Continuously monitoring the exposed bolt length helps determine if the tightening is within the manufacturer's specified range, as this exposed length reflects the progress of the thread crimping stage and the contact between the clamps.
