The REACON ASTM A153 Galvanized Secondary Clevis is a steel connecting fitting designed for mechanical connections in overhead power distribution systems. It provides a connection point between compatible pole line hardware components, helping form a secure and properly aligned assembly.
Unlike conventional support brackets, clevis fittings are primarily used to establish mechanical connections between individual hardware components. Their opening dimensions, pin arrangements and structural profiles determine how they fit into different utility construction configurations.
REACON offers several clevis designs for different installation requirements, including deadend clevises and secondary swinging clevises. Each design has its own dimensional characteristics, allowing customers to select suitable hardware according to the connection layout and approved engineering drawings.
The products are manufactured from steel and receive hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with ASTM A153 requirements, providing corrosion protection for outdoor electrical infrastructure.
Deadend Clevis
The deadend clevis is designed for mechanical connection arrangements in which the associated hardware must maintain a defined connection position.
Its opening and pin dimensions determine compatibility with the connected fittings. REACON provides two configurations, F0213 and F0214, with different opening dimensions to accommodate different assembly requirements.
Secondary Swinging Clevis
The secondary swinging clevis features a movable connection arrangement that allows the connected hardware to articulate around the pin connection.
This configuration can be considered for installations where the connection design requires a degree of movement or alignment flexibility.
Two versions are available: F0315 and F0316. Their dimensions and structural proportions differ, making model selection dependent on the actual installation design.
REACON provides four clevis configurations with different dimensional specifications.
Clevis fittings are installed as part of outdoor electrical hardware assemblies, where they may be exposed to rain, humidity and changing environmental conditions.
To improve their resistance to atmospheric corrosion, REACON applies hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with ASTM A153 requirements.
The galvanizing process creates a protective zinc coating over the steel surface. This coating helps reduce direct exposure of the base material to moisture and other corrosive elements.
The manufacturing and finishing process focuses on several important aspects:
• Steel material selection according to product requirements.
• Accurate formation of the clevis opening and connecting profile.
• Consistent hole positioning for compatible pin connections.
• Galvanized surface coverage.
• Inspection of finished dimensions and visible surface conditions.
Secondary clevis fittings are used in different pole line hardware arrangements where mechanical connections between components are required.
Typical applications include:
Overhead Distribution Line Assemblies
Used as connecting hardware within overhead distribution structures, helping link compatible fittings according to the line construction design.
Deadend Connection Arrangements
F0213 and F0214 can be selected for suitable deadend hardware assemblies based on their opening dimensions and connection requirements.
Secondary Line Hardware
F0315 and F0316 provide alternative swinging connection configurations for secondary line installations.
Utility Pole Construction
Installed as part of pole-mounted electrical hardware assemblies, subject to the specified mounting arrangement.
Power Line Maintenance and Replacement
Available as replacement components for existing installations when the dimensions and connection interfaces match the original hardware.
Correct model selection and connection compatibility are essential before installing a clevis fitting.
The general installation procedure includes:
1. Review the utility construction drawing and identify the required clevis configuration.
2. Confirm the opening dimensions and pin diameter against the connected hardware.
3. Position the clevis at the designated connection point.
4. Insert the specified pin or bolt through the aligned connection openings.
5. Install the required retaining device to prevent unintended pin movement.
6. Inspect the completed assembly for proper alignment and secure fastening.
Installation must follow the approved engineering design and applicable utility safety procedures.
Multiple Connection Configurations
Four models are available, covering deadend and swinging clevis designs.
Different Dimensional Options
Customers can select products according to opening dimensions, overall dimensions and connection requirements.

Inspection documentation can be discussed according to individual project requirements.
Q1: What is the difference between deadend clevis and swinging clevis?
Deadend clevis fittings are used for defined mechanical connection arrangements, while swinging clevis designs provide a movable pin connection that allows the connected hardware to articulate.
Q2: How many models are available?
Four configurations are currently listed: F0213, F0214, F0315 and F0316.
Q3: Are these clevis fittings suitable for outdoor applications?
Yes. The products feature hot-dip galvanized surface treatment according to ASTM A153 requirements.
Q4: How do I select the correct clevis model?
Selection should be based on the required opening size, overall dimensions, pin compatibility and the approved installation drawing.
Q5: Can REACON manufacture customized clevis fittings?
Yes. Customers can submit technical drawings or dimensional requirements for evaluation.
