Jumper Hook (USJH-001) is a “C” shaped hanger that slips over line hose to keep energized jumper leads from sagging into a possible cross-phase condition. It fits any class 2 or 3 line hose and is made from high-performance polymer. Flashover resistance is 50 kV. It installs by hand or with a shotgun stick.
Jumper Cuff™ (USJH-003) is a temporary mechanical jumper holder that secures jumpers so crews can stay outside minimum approach distance. The patented V-Notch design holds jumpers and prevents sliding. It is machined from high-performance polymer, fits bare conductors and class line hose up to 2.5 in OD, and installs or removes by hand or with a shotgun stick.
Jumper-Aid™ Blanket & Jumper Holder (USJH-002) is a scissor-action cradle that holds both a jumper lead and a blanket and helps prevent cross phasing. The pivoting design eliminates jumper sag. It is large enough to fit over most cross arms and positively captures jumpers and blankets. It is machined from high-performance polymer and installs by hand or with a shotgun stick.
A machined, high-performance polymer alternative to traditional molded hooks. The material retains its mechanical strength in cold weather. The interior hook holds tool bags and the exterior hook fits blanket holes without damaging them. Wide slot versions fit lined buckets. 5 year warranty. USBH-001 models have a working load limit of 35 lb. USBH-002 models are rated 45 lb on the outside hook and 55 lb combined on the two inside hooks.
