| Comealongs: ACSS, ACSS/TW Comealongs |
|
HiTemp™ Comealongs are stringing tools designed for pulling conductors up to initial sag tensions. If the required tension is greater than the rated tension of a single comealong, two or more comealongs should be used. When desired sag tension is reached, the conductor should be dead ended promptly and the comealong removed.
Comealongs must receive periodic maintenance. This practice should consist of a thorough cleaning with close inspection for nicked or rough conductor grooves, cracked body, bent eye bolts, or damaged bail. The eyebolts should be kept clean and oiled. The conductor groove should be kept clean and dry. After each six months use and at the beginning of each job, all comealongs should be subjected to a pull test equal to its rated strength. If any damage is found, the comealong should be disposed of or sent to ACA Conductor Accessories for rework and recertification.

Features:
Rugged Design
HiTemp Comealongs are highly engineered products. The comealong body is heat-treated for increased strength. The eyebolts are forged from high strength steel. The bail receives both magnaflux and dye check inspection to give high assurance of metal quality.
Fully Assembled
The HiTemp Comealong comes with all parts fully assembled and ready for use. Double lock nuts with cotter pins maintain proper body location. Peened eye bolts prevent loss of compression nut/washer combination.
Angled Bail
During installation, the angled bail of the comealong provides clearance between the chain link hoist and the fully annealed conductor. This prevents damage to the conductor and allows ease of accessory installation.
Each Comealong Tested and Rated
Each HiTemp Comealong is designed for a specfic ACSS or ACSS/TW conductor. Generally, the rating of the comealong will be between 20% and 50% of the ASTM rated strength of the conductor. The actual rating will be determined after testing and stamped on the comealong in pounds. Every comealong ordered is individually tested prior to shipment. |
