The REACON Hot Dip Galvanized Pole Top Pin is a pole line hardware component designed to support pin-type insulators on utility poles in overhead power distribution systems. It provides a mechanical mounting point for porcelain and composite insulators, helping maintain their position within the overhead conductor support structure.
Manufactured from steel and protected by a hot-dip galvanized finish, the pole top pin is designed for outdoor electrical infrastructure where mechanical stability and surface protection are important.
The product features an ANSI standard cast lead thread for insulator connection. Its channel-section mounting structure is positioned with the flat side against the pole and secured using a 5/8-inch machine bolt. This arrangement provides a practical mounting solution for pole-top installations.
REACON offers different thread configurations, including D0258-01 and D0258-02, to accommodate different insulator and project requirements.
1. Standard Galvanized Pole Top Pin
The standard pole top pin provides a threaded mounting interface for pin-type insulators installed at the top of utility poles. It is used in overhead distribution structures where the insulator needs to be positioned securely above the pole.
2. Channel Section Pole Top Pin
The channel-section design features a flat mounting surface that rests against the pole. The pin is secured using a 5/8-inch machine bolt, providing a direct connection between the pole and the insulator support component.
This mounting arrangement is suitable for pole-top installations where the hardware configuration requires a compact and stable attachment.
3. Different Thread Configurations
REACON provides pole top pins with different cast lead thread sizes. Customers can select the appropriate model according to the matching insulator thread and installation requirements.

The following models are listed in the current product specification.
| Stock Number | Lead Thread | B (mm) | C (mm) | D (mm) | E (inch) | E (mm) | Approx. Shipping Weight (kg/100 pcs) | Standard Package (pcs/carton) |

Threaded Insulator Mounting Interface
The cast lead thread provides the connection point for compatible pin-type insulators. Different thread sizes are available to match the corresponding insulator specifications.
Channel Section Mounting Structure
The flat side of the channel section is positioned against the pole and secured with a 5/8-inch machine bolt. This configuration allows the pin to be mounted directly onto the specified pole structure.
Hot Dip Galvanized Surface
The galvanized steel surface helps protect the product against outdoor environmental exposure. The coating requirements can be specified with reference to ASTM A153.
Multiple Thread Options
The D0258-01 and D0258-02 models provide two thread configurations, allowing customers to select according to the insulator connection requirements.
Suitable for Outdoor Utility Installations
The product is designed for pole-top mounting applications in overhead power distribution infrastructure, where the support hardware is exposed to changing weather conditions.
1. Overhead Power Distribution Lines
Used at the top of utility poles to provide mounting points for pin-type insulators that support overhead conductors.
2. Rural Electrification Projects
Applied in rural distribution networks where pole-top insulator support components are required for new line construction and infrastructure upgrades.
3. Utility Pole Replacement and Maintenance
Used when replacing damaged or outdated pole-top mounting hardware during electrical network maintenance.
4. Porcelain and Composite Insulator Installation
Provides a threaded support connection for compatible porcelain and composite pin-type insulators.
5. Outdoor Electrical Distribution Structures
Suitable for utility pole installations where galvanized steel mounting hardware is required for outdoor service.
Correct installation helps ensure proper positioning of the insulator and stable connection with the utility pole.
1. Check the Model: Confirm the pole top pin model and thread size according to the selected insulator.
2. Prepare the Pole: Check the mounting position and ensure the bolt hole matches the required 5/8-inch machine bolt.
3. Position the Pin: Place the flat side of the channel section against the pole.
4. Secure the Hardware: Install the machine bolt and corresponding fastening components according to the assembly drawing.
5. Install the Insulator: Connect the compatible pin-type insulator to the cast lead threaded section.
6. Check Alignment: Verify that the pin and insulator are correctly positioned before conductor installation.
7. Final Inspection: Check the fastening condition, thread engagement, and overall assembly.
All installation work should follow the approved engineering drawings and applicable electrical safety procedures.
