Crossarm Pin

Maintaining Proper Spacing Within Crossarm Assemblies

Utility pole structures often require multiple crossarms to support conductors, communication lines, and associated hardware. Maintaining consistent spacing between these structural members is important for hardware installation, conductor clearance, and overall assembly integrity.

The Reacon ASTM A153 Hot Dip Galvanized Crossarm Spacer is designed to create and maintain separation between crossarm components used in overhead distribution and transmission line structures. By helping preserve the intended distance between structural members, the spacer contributes to organized pole-top assemblies and efficient hardware installation.

The product is widely used in utility pole construction, line upgrades, and infrastructure maintenance projects.

Designed for Long-Term Outdoor Infrastructure

Crossarm spacers are exposed to changing weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and environmental contaminants throughout their service life. To support outdoor applications, the spacer is manufactured from steel and protected with a hot dip galvanized coating in accordance with ASTM A153 requirements.

Supporting Crossarm Alignment and Hardware Organization

In complex pole assemblies, maintaining the correct spacing between structural members can simplify installation and help accommodate associated hardware components.

Crossarm spacers are commonly used to:

• Maintain structural separation

• Support crossarm alignment

• Create space for hardware installation

• Improve assembly organization

• Facilitate maintenance activities

Because of these functions, spacers remain an important component in many utility pole construction standards.
