Alignment Tie

An alignment tie (often called a preformed alignment tie or insulator tie) is a specialized helical fitting used in overhead distribution lines to secure a Medium Voltage Covered Conductor (MVCC) to a pin, post, or spool insulator. Its primary function is to maintain line alignment at intermediate support poles where the power line does not terminate.

An alignment tie for a covered conductor is a specialized, preformed helical fastener designed to secure insulated overhead distribution lines to insulators. It replaces traditional bare-wire tie wires, ensuring the cable is held safely in place without damaging its protective outer jacket.

These ties are compatible with a wide range of conductor sizes and insulator profiles and types, making them a versatile solution. Its compliance with safety and performance standards BS EN 50397-2 ensures reliable operation in modern power distribution networks.
